The white man needs the Negro to free him from his guilt.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.[Henry Van Dyke] Quote:A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.[Albert Einstein] Quote:Have no fear of robbers or murderers. They are external dangers, petty dangers. We should fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers; vices the real murders. The great dangers are within us. Why worry about what threatens our heads or purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.[Victor Hugo] Quote:Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets.[Napoleon Bonaparte] Quote:Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:Most modern freedom is at root fear.

Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.[Aristotle] Quote:I have gained this from philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law.[Aristotle] Quote:Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.[Mark Twain] Quote:Do the thing you fear most and the death of fear is certain.[Mark Twain] Quote:The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That's the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead.[George Patton] Quote:Pride is an admission of weakness; it secretly fears all competition and dreads all rivals.[Fulton J. Sheen] Quote:In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.[Bill Cosby] Quote:The worst of all fears is the fear of living.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.[George Washington] Quote:Fear is your best friend or your worst enemy. It's like fire. If you can control it, it can cook for you; it can heat your house. If you can't control it, it will burn everything around you and destroy you. If you can control your fear, it makes you more alert, like a deer coming across the lawn.[Mike Tyson] Quote:It was the experience of mystery -- even if mixed with fear -- that engendered religion.[Albert Einstein] Quote:There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever.[Thomas Edison] Quote:An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger.[Confucius] Quote:To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:The old parties are husks, with no real soul within either, divided on artificial lines, boss-ridden and privilege-controlled, each a jumble of incongruous elements, and neither daring to speak out wisely and fearlessly on what should be said on the vital issues of the day.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:The one permanent emotion of the inferior man is fear - fear of the unknown, the complex, the inexplicable.

Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man. To know that what is impenatrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sent iment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself amoung profoundly religious men.[Albert Einstein] Quote:Puritanism - the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.[Henry Mencken] Quote:Why, you can take the most gallant sailor, the most intrepid airman or the most audacious soldier, put them at a table together - what do you get? The sum of their fears.[Winston Churchill] Quote:Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends.[J.R.R. Tolkien] Quote:But could not our situation be compared to one of a menacing epidemic? People are unable to view this situation in its true light, for their eyes are blinded by passion. General fear and anxiety create hatred and aggressiveness. The adaptation to warlike aims and activities has corrupted the mentality of man; as a result, intelligent, objective and humane thinking has hardly any effect and is even suspected and persecuted as unpatriotic.[Albert Einstein] Quote:Lies are usually caused by an undue fear of men.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:You gain strength, experience and confidence by every experience where you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you cannot do.[Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:Only those who are fit to live do not fear to die. And none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life. Both life and death are parts of the same great adventure.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Look not back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around you in awareness.[Ross Hersey] Quote:I have accepted fear as a part of life - specifically the fear of change. I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back.[Erica Jong] Quote:We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes.[John F. Kennedy] Quote:If you want to conquer fear, don't sit at home and think about it. Go out and get busy.[Andrew Carnegie] Quote:The only thing we have to fear is fear itself - nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.[Franklin D. Roosevelt] Quote:There is no greater hell than to be a prisoner of fear.[Ben Jonson] Quote:Talk of imminent threat to our national security through the application of external force is pure nonsense. Indeed it is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear.[Douglas MacArthur] Quote:Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear ? kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor ? with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it.[Douglas MacArthur] Quote:Keep your fears to yourself, but share your inspiration with others.[Robert Louis Stevenson] Quote:War is fear cloaked in courage.[William Westmoreland] Quote:Mankind censure injustice fearing that they may be the victims of it, and not because they shrink from committing it.[Plato] Quote:Traffic is like a bad dog. It isn't important to look both ways when crossing the street. It's more important to not show fear.[P.J. O'Rourke] Quote:Learn the art of patience. Apply discipline to your thoughts when they become anxious over the outcome of a goal. Impatience breeds anxiety, fear, discouragement and failure. Patience creates confidence, decisiveness, and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success. [Cato the Elder] Quote:Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear. [Henry Wadsworth Longfellow] Quote:In time we hate that which we often fear. [William Shakespeare] Quote:The quality of mercy is not strain'd, <br>It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven <br>Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: <br>It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. <br>'T is mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes <br>The throned monarch better than his crown; <br>His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, <br>The attribute to awe and majesty, <br>Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; <br>But mercy is above this sceptred sway, <br>It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, <br>It is an attribute to God himself; <br>And earthly power doth then show likest God's, <br>When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, <br>Though justice be thy plea, consider this, <br>That in the course of justice none of us <br>Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; <br>And that same prayer doth teach us all to render <br>The deeds of mercy. [William Shakespeare] Quote:No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear. [Edmund Burke] Quote:None but a coward dares to boast that he has never known fear. [Ferdinand Foch] Quote:If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared. [Niccolo Machiavelli] Quote:The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls. [Elizabeth Cady Stanton] Quote:Men are confused. They're conflicted. They want a woman who's their intellectual equal, but they're afraid of women like that. They want a woman they can dominate, but then they hate her for being weak. It's an ambivalence that goes back to a man's relationship with his mother. Source of his life, center of his universe, object of both his fear and his love. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true. [James Branch Cabell] Quote:To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. [Joseph Chilton Pearce] Quote:You see what power is - holding someone else's fear in your hand and showing it to them! [Amy Tan] Quote:Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life. [Bertolt Brecht] Quote:You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you. [Eric Hoffer] Quote:It is when power is wedded to chronic fear that it becomes formidable. [Eric Hoffer] Quote:You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you. [Eric Hoffer] Quote:Let the fear of danger be a spur to prevent it; he that fears not, gives advantage to the danger. [Francis Quarles] Quote:You gain strength, courage and confidence by every 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. [Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:I have gained this by philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law. [Aristotle] Quote:I never dared to be radical when young<br> For fear it would make me conservative when old. [Robert Frost] Quote:The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one. [Elbert Hubbard] Quote: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] Quote:Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:It shouldn't be too much of a surprise that the Internet has evolved into a force strong enough to reflect the greatest hopes and fears of those who use it. After all, it was designed to withstand nuclear war, not just the puny huffs and puffs of politicians and religious fanatics. [Penn Jillette] Quote:Courage is fear that has said its prayers. [Dr. David M. Burns] Quote: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] Quote:The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.
