- War is fear cloaked in courage.
- William Westmoreland on Fear
- We all have that burning question about what happens if we lose somebody we love, especially if we lose them tragically. We wonder what fear was going on, we wonder if we could have reached out and touched them, held their hand, looked in their eyes, been there.
- Kevin Costner on Fear
- We all struggle with our failure to communicate and our failure to reach beyond fear to love people.
- Mira Sorvino on Fear
- We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.
- Eleanor Roosevelt on Fear
- We are biological creatures. We are born, we live, we die. There is no transcendent purpose to existence. At best we are creatures of reason, and by using reason we can cure ourselves of emotional excess. Purged of both hope and fear, we find courage in the face of helplessness, insignificance and uncertainty.
- Jonathan Sacks on Fear
- We are near, very near, to an end to the eurozone crisis... The worst - in the sense of the fear of the eurozone breaking up - is over. But the best isn't there yet.
- Francois Hollande on Fear
- We consume our tomorrows fretting about our yesterdays.
- Aulus Persius Flaccus on Fear
- We fear doing too little when we should do more. Then atone by doing too much, when perhaps we should do less.
- Robert Trout on Fear
- We fear the thing we want the most.
- Robert Anthony on Fear
- We fear things in proportion to our ignorance of them.
- Christian Nestell Bovee on Fear
- We fear to know the fearsome and unsavory aspects of ourselves, but we fear even more to know the godlike in ourselves.
- Abraham Maslow on Fear
- We fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict.
- Jim Morrison on Fear
- We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.
- Eleanor Roosevelt on Fear
- We have not sought this conflict we have sought too long to avoid it our forbearance has been construed into weakness, our magnanimity into fear, until the vindication of our manhood, as well as the defence of our rights, is required at our hands.
- Robert Toombs on Fear
- We have perhaps a natural fear of ends. We would rather be always on the way than arrive. Given the means, we hang on to them and often forget the ends.
- Eric Hoffer on Fear
- We Hoosiers hold to some quaint notions. Some might say we 'cling' to them, though not out of fear or ignorance. We believe in paying our bills. We have kept our state in the black throughout the recent unpleasantness, while cutting rather than raising taxes, by practicing an old tribal ritual - we spend less money than we take in.
- Mitch Daniels on Fear
- We manage the fear, I manage the fear, but it certainly takes its toll, the strain does.
- Christiane Amanpour on Fear
- We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.
- Martin Luther King, Jr. on Fear
- We must have our say, not through violence, aggression or fear. We must speak out calmly and forcefully. We shall only be able to enter the new world era if we agree to engage in dialogue with the other side.
- Tahar Ben Jelloun on Fear
- We must laugh before we are happy, for fear of dying without having laughed at all.
- Jean De La Bruyere on Fear
- We must laugh before we are happy, for fear we die before we laugh at all.
- Jean De La Fontaine on Fear
- We must travel in the direction of our fear.
- John Berryman on Fear
- We need to teach the next generation of children from day one that they are responsible for their lives. Mankind's greatest gift, also its greatest curse, is that we have free choice. We can make our choices built from love or from fear.
- Elisabeth Kubler-Ross on Fear
- We often pretend to fear what we really despise, and more often despise what we really fear.
- Charles Caleb Colton on Fear
- We poison our lives with fear of burglary and shipwreck, and, ask anyone, the house is never burgled, and the ship never goes down.
- Jean Anouilh on Fear
- We shall never be able to remove suspicion and fear as potential causes of war until communication is permitted to flow, free and open, across international boundaries.
- Harry S. Truman on Fear
- We should face reality and our past mistakes in an honest, adult way. Boasting of glory does not make glory, and singing in the dark does not dispel fear.
- King Hussein on Fear
- We should laugh before being happy, for fear of dying without having laughed.
- Jean De La Bruyere on Fear
- We should not be afraid to go into a new era, to leave the old beyond.
- We should not fret for what is past, nor should we be anxious about the future men of discernment deal only with the present moment.
- We tell lies when we are afraid... afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing that we fear grows stronger.
- Tad Williams on Fear
- We will be safer from terrorist attack only when we have earned the respect of all other nations instead of their fear, respect for our values and not merely our weapons.
- Theodore C. Sorensen on Fear
- We're taught to be ashamed of confusion, anger, fear and sadness, and to me they're of equal value to happiness, excitement and inspiration.
- Alanis Morissette on Fear
- We've all had that fear, that despair of losing someone, or this fierce desire because it's not reciprocated. The less reciprocation there is, the more desire we have.
- Emmanuelle Beart on Fear
- We, the people. Manifest Destiny. Conceived in liberty. Fear itself. Ask not. Morning in America. United we stand. Yes, we can. In times of great change and tumult, presidents seek to inspire beleaguered Americans by reminding them of their national identity.
- Ron Fournier on Fear
- Well, I am now convinced there is no kind of fear or anxiety anyone has to live with.
- Ricky Williams on Fear
- What I fear most is power with impunity. I fear abuse of power, and the power to abuse.
- Isabel Allende on Fear
- What I needed most was to love and to be loved, eager to be caught. Happily I wrapped those painful bonds around me and sure enough, I would be lashed with the red-hot pokers or jealousy, by suspicions and fear, by burst of anger and quarrels.
- Saint Augustine on Fear
- What I think we fear is rapid, pronounced, and uncontrollable changes to ourselves, and because of this we have a form of personality inertia - something that resists rapid change.
- Simon Travaglia on Fear
- What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it.
- Jiddu Krishnamurti on Fear
- What our children have to fear is not the cars on the highways of tomorrow but our own pleasure in calculating the most elegant parameters of their deaths.
- J. G. Ballard on Fear
- What people fear most about tragedy is its randomness - a taxi cab jumps the curb and hits a pedestrian, a gun misfires and kills a bystander. Better to have some rational cause and effect between incident and injury. And if cause and effect aren't possible, better that there at least be some reward for all the suffering.
- Jeffrey Kluger on Fear
- What they smell isn't the emotion of fear. What dogs can smell is the changes in a person's skin that suggest fear to the dog, anxiety, the way your skin sweats, the amount of uric acid that suddenly pours out of your pores.
- Robert Crais on Fear
- What we have most to fear is failure of the heart.
- Sonia Johnson on Fear
- What's powerful about a love scene is not seeing the act. It's seeing the passion, the need, the desire, the caring, the fear.
- Patrick Swayze on Fear
- When a child can be brought to tears, and not from fear of punishment, but from repentance he needs no chastisement. When the tears begin to flow from the grief of their conduct you can be sure there is an angel nestling in their heart.
- Horace Mann on Fear
- When a match has equal partners then I fear not.
- When Christians start thinking about Jesus, things start breaking down, they lose their faith. It's perfectly possible to go to church every Sunday and not ask any questions, just because you like it as a way of life. They fear that if they ask questions they'll lose their Christ, the very linchpin of their religion.
- A. N. Wilson on Fear
- When desire dies, fear is born.
- Baltasar Gracian on Fear
- When even one American - who has done nothing wrong - is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth - then all Americans are in peril.
- Harry S. Truman on Fear
