I will not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little death that brings total destruction.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to over me pass over me and through me.
When it has gone I will look to see its path. Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
I will not fear.
I love that saying in Dune, almost as iconic as "the spice must flow"
I know it's not canon, but the mentat mantra from the Lynch movie works for me:
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, stains become a warning.
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
