Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
Bertrand Russell
Every man, through fear, mugs his aspirations a dozen times a day.
Brendan Francis
There are times when fear is good. It must keep its watchful place at the heart's controls.
Aeschylus
Listen to what you know instead of what you fear.
Richard Bach
I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the kind that we experience in ourselves. Neither can I nor would I want to conceive of an individual that survives his physical death; let feeble souls, from fear or absurd egoism, cherish such thoughts.
Albert Einstein
The more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.
Shirley MacLaine
To him who is in fear, everything rustles.
Sophocles
Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make you a far happier and more productive person.
Dr. David M. Burns
I've grown certain that the root of all fear is that we've been forced to deny who we are.
Frances Moore Lappe
I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do...
Eleanor Roosevelt
Fear not those who argue but those who dodge
Dale Carnegie
We fear things in proportion to our ignorance of them.
Livy
