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

No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.

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

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

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

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

Hopeful thinking can get you out of your fear zone and into your appreciation zone.

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

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

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