Quotes from the team at Phobias:

There are two steps in solving a problem.  Believing you can solve the problem and solving the problem.  Once you have established belief you are more than half way there.

You may not always find happiness from your actions, but you will never find happiness from inaction.

Tell us your phobias, and we will tell you what you are afraid of.
Robert Benchley (1889 - 1945)

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
