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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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