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

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.

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

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

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.

The regrets of yesterday and the fear of tomorrow can kill you.

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

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

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