3 December 2020 John Dryden Death in itself is nothing but we fear to be we know not what, we know not where.
3 December 2020 Louise Brown I could write an entertaining novel about rejection slips, but I fear it would be overly long.
3 December 2020 Margot Kidder I don’t buy into any of that hogwash. They put that out to sell tickets. It’s just a classic horror movie, with the Greek drama formula of good versus evil, and lots of fear.
3 December 2020 Ariel Sharon As one who participated in all the wars of the state of Israel, I saw the horror of wars. I saw the fear of wars. I saw my best friends being killed in battles. I was seriously injured twice.
3 December 2020 Alice Walker As you know from school, it’s when you have not prepared for the test that you have the fear of failing. And if you have prepared, even if you fail, you’ve done your best.
3 December 2020 Fulton Oursler Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves – regret for the past and fear of the future.
3 December 2020 Graham Greene Writing is a form of therapy sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.
3 December 2020 Emmanuel Teney There are no guarantees. From the viewpoint of fear, none are strong enough. From the viewpoint of love, none are necessary.
3 December 2020 Elizabeth I Fear not, we are of the nature of the lion, and cannot descend to the destruction of mice and such small beasts.
3 December 2020 Emma Watson I’ve probably earned the right to screw up a few times. I don’t want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about.
3 December 2020 Napoleon Bonaparte You must not fear death, my lads defy him, and you drive him into the enemy’s ranks.
3 December 2020 Clara Schumann I cannot give a single concert at which I do not play one piece after the other in an agony of terror because my memory threatens to fail me. This fear torments me for days beforehand.
3 December 2020 George Osborne There was a real fear that a euro-zone bank might fail, that we’d have a sovereign debt problem in one of the larger European economies. That’s dissipated, thanks largely to the action of the European Central Bank.
3 December 2020 Edward Walker By action and reaction do we become strong or weak, according to the character of our thoughts and mental states. Fear is the deadly nightshade of the mind.
3 December 2020 Olympia Dukakis I talk to women’s groups all over the country and see women struggling with this. The fear of not being accepted, of being different, of not having a man, all make it hard for a woman to do what she really believes is right for her.
3 December 2020 Natan Sharansky My optimism is not based primarily on the successful march of democracy in recent times but rather is based on the experience of having lived in a fear society and studied the mechanics of tyranny that sustain such a society.
3 December 2020 Mos Def I began to fear that Mos Def was being treated as a product, not a person, so I’ve been going by Yasiin since ’99. At first it was just for friends and family, but now I’m declaring it openly.
3 December 2020 Patrick Wilson The way you deal with a scare is the way you deal with a laugh. The timing has to be perfect. When you’re dealing with fear or laughter – emotions that happen spontaneously – you hope it’s working. But in the moment, you really have no idea.
3 December 2020 Ramakrishna To work without attachment is to work without the expectation of reward or fear of any punishment in this world or the next. Work so done is a means to the end, and God is the end.
3 December 2020 Simon Travaglia 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.
3 December 2020 Thomas Jefferson Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear.
