The only thing we have to fear
is fear itself--nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which
paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.
FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT
The wise man in the storm prays
God, not for safety from danger, but for deliverance from fear.
It is the storm within which endangers him, not the storm without.
RALPH WALDO EMERSON
A good scare is worth more to
a man than good advice.
EDGAR WATSON HOWE
A man who fears suffering is
already suffering from what he fears.
MICHEL DE MONTAIGNE
Avoiding danger is no safer in
the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as
often as the bold.
HELEN KELLER
Fear is never a good counselor
and victory over fear is the first spiritual duty of man.
NICOLAS BERDYAEV
Fear; if allowed free rein, would
reduce all of us to trembling shadows of men, for whom only death
could bring release.
JOHN M. WILSON
Love is always creative, fear
always destructive.
EMMET FOX
He who fears being conquered
is sure of defeat.
NAPOLEON
You can discover what your enemy
fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you.
ERIC HOFFER
Fears are educated into us, and
can, if we wish, be educated out.
KARL AUGUSTUS MENNINGER
We fear things in proportion
to our ignorance of them.
TITUS LIVIUS
Fear grows in darkness; if you
think there's a bogeyman around, turn on the light.
DOROTHY THOMPSON
Collective fear stimulates herd
instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are
not regarded as members of the herd.
BERTRAND RUSSELL
We will not be driven by fear
into an age of unreason if we remember that we are not descended
from fearful men, not from men who feared to write, to speak,
to associate and to defend causes which were, for the moment,
unpopular.
EDWARD R. MURROW
When men are ruled by fear, they
strive to prevent the very changes that will abate it.
ALAN PATON
Nothing in life is to be feared.
It is only to be understood.
MARIE CURIE
You gain strength, courage, and
confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look
fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot
do.
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
Don't be afraid to go out on
a limb. That's where the fruit is.
