Best Quotes about Fear
Great fear is concealed under daring.
Lucan, F. L.
Terror is as much a part of the concept of truth as runniness is of the concept of jam. We wouldn't like jam if it didn't, by its very nature, ooze. We wouldn't like truth if it wasn't sticky, if, from time to time, it didn't ooze blood.
Baudrillard, Jean
There is great beauty in going through life without anxiety or fear. Half our fears are baseless, and the other half discreditable.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by each experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ?I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.? You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
Roosevelt, Eleanor
To hate and to fear is the be psychologically ill... it is, in fact, the consuming illness of our time.
Overstreet, Harry A.
When the will defies fear, when duty throws the gauntlet down to fate, when honor scorns to compromise with death -- that is heroism.
Ingersoll, Robert Green
People always make the wolf more formidable than he is.
Proverb, French
We fear things in proportion to our ignorance of them.
Livy, Titus
He who is afraid of a thing gives it power over him.
Proverb, Moorish
Fear comes from uncertainty. When we are absolutely certain, whether of our worth or worthlessness, we are almost impervious to fear. Thus a feeling of utter unworthiness can be a source of courage.
Hoffer, Eric
Where the fear is, happiness is not.
Seneca
There is no passion so contagious as that of fear.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Fear of becoming a has been keeps some people from becoming anything.
Hoffer, Eric
There is no terror in a bang, only in the anticipation of it.
Hitchcock, Alfred
I know what I am fleeing from, but not what I am in search of.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Fear can supplant our real problems only to the extent --unwilling either to assimilate or to exhaust it --we perpetuate it within ourselves like a temptation and enthrone it at the very heart of our solitude.
Cioran, E. M.
A fighter has to know fear.
D'Amato, Cus
Fear is what kills us.
Fear of failure must never be a reason not to try something.
Smith, Frederick
The worst sorrows in life are not in its losses and misfortune, but its fears.
Benson, Arthur Christopher
Fear is the mind killer
Herbert, Frank
If you listen to your fears, you will die never knowing what a great person you might have been.
Schuller, Robert H.
That fear may reach all, punish but few.
Proverb
Fear can be headier than whiskey, once man has acquired a taste for it.
Downes, Donald
He without fear is king of the world.
Eddison, E. E.
No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.
Edmund Burke
The more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.
Maclaine, Shirley
I think over again my small adventures, my fears, These small ones that seemed so big. For all the vital things I had to get and to reach. And yet there is only one great thing, The only thing. To live to see the great day that dawns And the light that fills the world.
Inuit Song
He who fears to suffer, suffers from fear.
Proverb
Fear of the pain blinds us to the goal of healing. Only by seeing our problems clearly and experiencing them can we do something about them.
Hoffman, Bob
At man's core there is a voice that wants him never to give in to fear. But if it is true that in general man cannot give in to fear, at the very least he postpones indefinitely the moment when he will have to confront himself with the object of his fear... when he will no longer have the assistance of reason as guaranteed by God, or when he will no longer have the assistance of God such as reason guaranteed. It is necessary to recoil, but it is necessary to leap, and perhaps one only recoils in order to leap better.
Bataille, Georges
Fear is excitement without breath.
Heller, Robert
Fearless minds climb soonest into crowns.
Shakespeare, William
There is the fear that we shan't prove worthy in the eyes of someone who knows us at least as well as we know ourselves. That is the fear of God. And there is the fear of Man --fear that men won't understand us and we shall be cut of from them.
Frost, Robert
When the mind has once begun to yield to the weakness of superstition, trifles impress it with the force of conviction.
Ann Radcliffe
It's better to get mugged than to live a life of fear.
Dyson, Freeman
Become so wrapped up in something that you forget to be afraid.
Johnson, Lady Bird
Fear is a habit; so is self-pity, defeat, anxiety, despair, hopelessness and resignation. You can eliminate all of these negative habits with two simple resolves: I can!! and I will!!
Scruples, temptations, and fears, and cutting perplexities of the heart, are often the lot of the most excellent persons.
Kempis, Thomas
Almost everything: all external expectations, all pride all fear of embarrassment or failure. These tings just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.
Steve Jobs
Shame arises from the fear of men, conscience from the fear of God.
Johnson, Samuel
Humans, with the capacities of higher-order thinking, can overcome limiting behaviors and fears.
Scheele, Paul R.
Panic is a sudden desertion of us, and a going over to the enemy of our imagination.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
Fear can be conquered. I became a better person and a better football player when I learned that lesson.
Craig, Roger
Action conquers fear.
Zarlenga, Peter Nivio
Try a thing you haven't done three times. Once, to get over the fear of doing it. Twice, to learn how to do it. And a third time to figure out whether you like it or not.
Thomson, Virgil
Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more; whine less breathe more; talk less, say more; hate less, love more; and all good things are yours.
Proverb, Swedish
We often pretend to fear what we really despise, and more often despise what we really fear.
Colton, Charles Caleb
If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows no fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.
Patton, George S.
Fear of success can also be tied into the idea that success means someone else's loss. Some people are unconsciously guilty because they believe their victories are coming at the expense of another.
Harvey, Joan C.
