Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts... perhaps the fear of a loss of power.

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

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

Things done well and with a care, exempt themselves from fear.

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

You have to be careful not to let your fear stop you doing things. It's very exciting to test yourself.

Courage consists not in hazarding without fear but being resolutely minded in a just cause.

Repentance is not so much remorse for what we have done as the fear of the consequences.

There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear.

Fear of the future is worse than one's present fortune.
