If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.

While we are focusing on fear, worry, or hate, it is not possible for us to be experiencing happiness, enthusiasm or love.

Worry is a cycle of inefficient thoughts whirling around a center of fear.

Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.

It's not necessary to fear the prospect of failure but to be determined not to fail.

At the end of the day, we must go forward with hope and not backward by fear and division.

There is great beauty in going through life without anxiety or fear. Half our fears are baseless, and the other half discreditable.

Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of every fear is freedom.

It is an open question whether any behavior based on fear of eternal punishment can be regarded as ethical or should be regarded as merely cowardly.

Failure seldom stops you. What stops you is the fear of failure.
