Quote by Michael Grant, Gone

Fear was about possibilities. Not things that happened. Things that might. -FEAR

Fear was about possibilities. Not things that happened. Thin

Summary

This quote suggests that fear is not based on actual events or experiences, but rather on the anticipation of negative outcomes or potential dangers. It highlights the idea that fear is often fueled by the imagination and the uncertain future, rather than by the reality of present circumstances. In this sense, fear becomes a product of our own perception and our tendency to focus on what might go wrong, rather than on what has already happened.

He must eat a piece of stale bread with the same relish and enjoyment as the most sumptuous dinner. Contentment is real wealth. If one develops within himself the quality of contentment he will become independent. Contentment is the creator of happiness. When one is contented he does not care either for riches or poverty. He lives above the influence of them and is indifferent to them.
