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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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