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.

Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in awareness.

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

Being brave isn't the absence of fear. Being brave is having that fear but finding a way through it.

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

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

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

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

Fear not that the life shall come to an end, but rather that it shall never have a beginning.

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