You can motivate by fear. And you can motivate by reward. But both of these methods are only temporary. The only lasting thing is self-motivation.
Homer Rice
Fear is the outcome of weakness, a cowards friend, an enemy of firmness. Fear of death is the cause of all human fears. One who wins the fear of death wins himself. He is the one who wins the freedom. From his mental prison.
V.Prabhakaran
Let those flatter who fear; it is not an American art
Thomas Jefferson
As long as you have attachment to the body and attachment to objects, fear and suffering will be with you. Therefore, Krishna told Arjuna to develop his discrimination and rid himself of body consciousness. He told him that once he was free of body consciousness he would be able to develop integral vision.
Sri Sathya Sai Baba
Referring to Caesar: He must fear many, whom many fear. Necesse est multos timeat quem multi timent.
Laberius Decimus
Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind; the thief doth fear each bush an officer.
William Shakespeare
The guilt being great, the fear doth still exceed.
William Shakespeare
Guilt alone, like brain-sick frenzy in its feverish mood, fills the light air with visionary terrors, and shapeless forms of fear.
Junius
Overcoming fear and worry can be accomplished by living a day at a time or even a moment at a time. Your worries will be cut down to nothing.
Dr. Robert Anthony
Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit.
Bertrand Russell
Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey.
Lord Byron
Fear not that thy life shall come to an end, but rather fear that it shall never have a beginning.
John Henry Cardinal
