Endurance is composed of four attributes: eagerness, fear, piety and anticipation (of death). So whoever is eager for Paradise will ignore temptations; whoever fears the fire of Hell will abstain from sins; whoever practises piety will easily bear the difficulties of life and whoever anticipates death will hasten towards good deeds.
Ali bin Abu-Talib
And I fear my fear is greater than my faith.
Tori Amos
Up the airy mountain, Down the rushy glen, We daren't go a-hunting, For fear of little men.
William Allingham
He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.
Aristotle
I do not fear invisible worlds.
Ivo Andric
A mothers life, you see, is one long succession of dramas, now soft and tender, now terrible. Not an hour but has its joys and fears.
Honor de Balzac
I would sum up my fear about the future in one word: boring. And that's my one fear: that everything has happened; nothing exciting or new or interesting is ever going to happen again ... the future is just going to be a vast, conforming suburb of the soul.
James Graham Ballard
Do not fear or misunderstand when the Government say they are looking to our defences. I give you my word that there will be no great armaments.
Stanley Baldwin, 1st Earl Baldwin of Bewdley
At any given moment in your life, you have the choice between love and fear. And thats a choice you make. You make the choice of how you react to events.
Jennifer Beals
Desperate with fear, I rushed forward with an unceremonious, "You must permit me, Sir " and felt him. My Wife was right. There was not the trace of an angle, not the slightest roughness or inequality: never in my life had I met with a more perfect Circle. He remained motionless while I walked round him, beginning from his eye and returning to it again. Circular he was throughout, a perfectly satisfactory Circle; there could not be a doubt of it. Then followed a dialogue, which I will endeavour to set down as near as I can recollect it, omitting only some of my profuse apologies for I was covered with shame and humiliation that I, a Square, should have been guilty of the impertinence of feeling a Circle. It was commenced by the Stranger with some impatience at the lengthiness of my introductory process. STRANGER. Have you felt me enough by this time? Are you not introduced to me yet?
Edwin Abbott
But true love comes, not so lightly Without fear and with no doubting, We always fear that what we love may fail, So I don't dare to stir myself to speak.
Bernart de Ventadorn
Pray for me, that I may not flee for fear of the wolves.
Pope Benedict XVI
A nigga hit me with a can of beer, then he ran in fear, later they found him hanging from a chandelier.
