Gen. George Patton

Although Patton probably wasn't as good as a lot of people make him out to be (to be fair, Monty probably wasn't either), he did say one thing that has rung true to me:

"Do not take counsel of your fears"

No matter what it is I encounter, it seems that the anticipation was always a lot worse than the thing itself. If you hold your breath and just DO it, that thing you feared usually ends up working out just fine.

I may do a regular quotes thing here. I am rather fond of them.
