| Thich Nhat Hanh | Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay.

Transforming fear into freedom - how great is that? | 101 |

| Chris Carter | It's so interesting that when I finished 'The X-Files' in 2002, the - call it the political and cultural climate in America - was one of fear, and trust of government.

| Denis O'Hare | Probably I have more phobias, fear and eccentricities than I would care to admit. I don't think I'm in danger of losing my mind, but I do often question my own behavior.

| Eliot Engel | The free nations of the world will not be pushed around by terrorist cowards whose goal is to spread fear and destruction and destroy our liberty and way of life. | 101 |

| Fulton Oursler | We crucify ourselves between two thieves: regret for yesterday and fear of tomorrow. | 101 |
| Hannah Kent | People speak of the fear of the blank canvas as though it is a temporary hesitation, a trembling moment of self-doubt.

| Lucy Walker | I'm riveted by extreme sports like big-wave surfing, 'megaramp' skateboarding and half-pipe snowboarding. I'm fascinated partly because the sports are so exhilaratingly acrobatic.

| Peter Straub | Fear and I were old buddies, despite my best efforts to the contrary. | 101 |

| Dudley Nichols | Fear is the highest fence. | 101 |

| Jeremy Renner | I live my life through fear. If I'm afraid of it I'll do it just so I'm not afraid of it anymore. | 101 |
| Joe Carnahan | So much of Hollywood is this kind of overly machismo, nonsensical view of masculinity, which I just don't find honest. I think it's this idea of - you know, we're told, well, 'Be a man, be a man.' But what does that mean, exactly? Does that mean you can't carry yourself with any fear? That you can't acknowledge that you're scared? | 101 |
| John Hawkes | My fear now is of cliche, of complacency, of not being able to feel authenticity in myself and those around me. | 101 |

| Pope Theodoros II | Even if humans feel lots of fear, remember God will take care of you. This is a collective message because fear is contagious... This is a message of reassurance. | 101 |

| S. C. Gwynne | What I am afraid of is the first thing I was ever aware of being afraid of and what I have told my daughter countless times she need not fear: being alone in the dark. It is a small prison of emotion from which there is no escape. It is also, in its own way, a shattering revelation. | 101 |
| Adam Arkin | We all look to have transcendent experiences that lift us out of the everyday, and fear is a good one. But, I think it's the same reason why people want to laugh their heads off. | 101 |

| Lindsay Price | I don't have a fear of becoming a parent, but I do have a fear of taking care of a newborn because they are so tiny and vulnerable. | 101 |
| Mojo Nixon | I can't understand people calling themselves religious and being hateful. If a preacher is preaching hate, to fear God that's not religion, that's not helping humanity, that's organizing an army to defeat somebody. | 101 |
| Robert Jarvik | Leaders are visionaries with a poorly developed sense of fear and no concept of the odds against them. | 101 |

| Steve Perry | The injury that we do to a man must be such that we need not fear his vengeance. | 101 |
| Alex North | Fear is a problem with film music and films; people want to be conventional, and there's more commercialism today. If you are not daring in your art, you're bankrupt. | 101 |
| Jane Welsh Carlyle | I have lived so long among people who do not understand me, been so long accustomed to refrain and disguise myself for fear of being laughed at, that I have grown as difficult to come at as a snail in a shell; and what is worse, I cannot come out of my shell when I wish it. | 101 |
| Richard Coyle | What's my greatest fear? I don't know; I have lots of fears. Regret, I don't want to have any regrets; that makes me scared. | 101 |
| Robert Heller | Fear is excitement without breath. | 101 |

| Jerome Cady | Fear has nothing to do with cowardice. A fellow is only yellow when he lets his fear make him quit. | 101 |
| Marilyn Ferguson | Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of every fear is freedom. | 101 |

| Joseph J. Lhota | The bracelet says 'Fear Nothing.' It was given to me by my friends, and it was made for me and my friends during the period of time that I was going through chemotherapy. And I still wear it, because it's a great reminder of friendship and how my buddies and others came together in my time of need. | 101 |
| Mamnoon Hussain | My fear is that if we don't take remedial steps to control polio in the tribal areas, we will be faced with international sanctions. | 101 |
| John Hersey | What has kept the world safe from the bomb since 1945 has not been deterrence, in the sense of fear of specific weapons, so much as it's been memory. The memory of what happened at Hiroshima. | 101 |
| Max Baer | I define fear as standing across the ring from Joe Louis and knowing he wants to go home early. | 101 |
| Jacqueline Cochran | It comes with faith, for with complete faith there is no fear of what faces you in life or death. | 101 |

| Ariana Grande | Love is a really scary thing, and you never know what's going to happen. It's one of the most beautiful things in life, but it's one of the most terrifying. It's worth the fear because you have more knowledge, experience, you learn from people, and you have memories. | 102 |
| Beth Ditto | As with most phobias, the fear of flying does make some sense, but if ever there was a fear worth quashing then this is it. After all, life is short, and there's a great big world to explore out there. | 102 |
| Charles Kennedy | Courage is a peculiar kind of fear. | 102 |
| Charles Stanley | Fear stifles our thinking and actions. It creates indecisiveness that results in stagnation. I have known talented people who procrastinate indefinitely rather than risk failure. Lost opportunities cause erosion of confidence, and the downward spiral begins. | 102 |
| Clara Barton | I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them. | 102 |
| Dick Cavett | Why are people afraid of ghosts? 'Ooh, no, I wouldn't want to see one! I'd be too scared' - accompanied by a tremolo of fear in the voice - is the common reaction. This puzzles me. I'd think anyone would welcome he opportunity. I've never heard of a ghost hurting anybody. | 102 |

| George Saunders | The scariest thought in the world is that someday I'll wake up and realize I've been sleepwalking through my life: underappreciating the people I love, making the same hurtful mistakes over and over, a slave to neuroses, fear, and the habitual. | 102 |
| Hedy Lamarr | I don't fear death because I don't fear anything I don't understand. When I start to think about it, I order a massage and it goes away. | 102 |

| Jennifer Lopez | I've always had a huge fear of dying or becoming ill. The thing I'm most afraid of, though, is being alone, which I think a lot of performers fear. It's why we seek the limelight - so we're not alone, were adored. We're loved, so people want to be around us. The fear of being alone drives my life. | 102 |
| Jesse Jackson | At the end of the day, we must go forward with hope and not backward by fear and division. | 102 |

| Miles Davis | Do not fear mistakes. There are none. | 102 |
| Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum | We in the U.A.E. have no such word as 'impossible'; it does not exist in our lexicon. Such a word is used by the lazy and the weak, who fear challenges and progress. | 102 |
| Olive Schreiner | No good work is ever done while the heart is hot and anxious and fretted. | 102 |
| Oliver Hudson | His advice to me is basically to just love what you do and don't let the fear of failure stop you. | 102 |
| Oliver Stone | Fear may very well be a caveman fear of the predator, of the giant lizard chasing them - maybe that's what Steven Spielberg connects with so well in Lost World. | 102 |
| 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. | 102 |
| Paul Haggis | I was trying to talk about where we are right now as a society, and talk about the fear we all live in, and certainly since 9-11, how it's affected us and the world. | 102 |
| Paul Sweeney | True success is overcoming the fear of being unsuccessful. | 102 |
| Robert Benchley | Tell us your phobias and we will tell you what you are afraid of. | 102 |
| Robert Falcon Scott | Hunger and fear are the only realities in dog life: an empty stomach makes a fierce dog. | 102 |
| Rowan Williams | Quite a lot of our contemporary culture is actually shot through with a resentment of limits and the passage of time, anger at what we can't do, fear or even disgust at growing old. | 102 |
| Steve Irwin | I have no fear of losing my life - if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it. | 102 |
| Steven Pressfield | Turning pro is a mindset. If we are struggling with fear, self-sabotage, procrastination, self-doubt, etc., the problem is, we're thinking like amateurs. Amateurs don't show up. Amateurs crap out. Amateurs let adversity defeat them. The pro thinks differently. He shows up, he does his work, he keeps on truckin', no matter what. | 102 |
| Tecumseh | When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home. | 102 |
| Thomas J. Watson | Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the danger of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of 'crackpot' than the stigma of conformity. | 102 |
| Tullian Tchividjian | When you don't have anything to lose, you discover something wonderful: you're free to take great risks without fear or reservation. | 102 |
| Wangari Maathai | African women in general need to know that it's OK for them to be the way they are - to see the way they are as a strength, and to be liberated from fear and from silence. | 102 |
| William Whipple | I fear a permanent Confederation will never be settled; tho the most material articles are I think got thro', so as to give great offence to some, but to my Satisfaction. | 102 |
| Yunus Emre | Thought is an errand boy, fear a mine of worries. | 102 |
| Zack Wamp | We should not be afraid to go into a new era, to leave the old beyond. | 102 |
| David Joseph Schwartz | Do what you fear and fear disappears. | 102 |
| Don DeLillo | There's always a period of curious fear between the first sweet-smelling breeze and the time when the rain comes cracking down. | 102 |
| Garrett Hedlund | See, the 'On the Road' that came out in 1957 was censored. A lot of the honesty of it, the bitter honesty, is in the original scroll version that came out in 2007 on the 50-year anniversary. Back then, there was so much post-Second World War fear that was imposed on everybody - 'You must live life this way' - and these guys were bored. | 102 |
| Javier Bardem | I do respect people's faith, but I don't respect their manipulation of that faith in order to create fear and control. | 102 |
| Kapil Sharma | I am always scared before going on stage; this is the fear which makes me do well. | 102 |
| Karl A. Menninger | The voice of the intelligence is drowned out by the roar of fear. It is ignored by the voice of desire. It is contradicted by the voice of shame. It is biased by hate and extinguished by anger. Most of all it is silenced by ignorance. | 102 |
| Kathie Lee Gifford | A fear of the unknown keeps a lot of people from leaving bad situations. | 102 |
| Lou Henry Hoover | The independent girl is a person before whose wrath only the most rash dare stand, and, they, it must be confessed, with much fear and trembling. | 102 |
| Laura Marling | I've been quite fascinated by the relative insignificance of human existence, the shortness of life. We might as well be a letter in a word in a sentence on a page in a book in a library in a city in one country in this enormous universe! And that kind of fear and insignificance has kept me awake at night. | 102 |
| Mark Gatiss | Fear is an underrated emotion. And that's why I think it's very dangerous to try and cosset children from it. A healthy scare is as good as as a healthy laugh. In fact, they're two sides of the same coin. There is a desire to shield from the knocks and bumps of reality. | 102 |
| Marlon Wayans | There are so many things to talk about between black people, Hispanic people, white people, gay people, men, women, it's all based on fear. We all have fears, this thing that stops us from embracing as we are one. We are never going to be one. People are messed up, but humor lets us see how ignorant we can be. | 102 |
| Robert Anthony | We fear the thing we want the most. | 102 |
| Rachel Cusk | There is always shame in the creation of an expressive work, whether it's a book or a clay pot. Every artist worries about how they will be seen by others through their work. When you create, you aspire to do justice to yourself, to remake yourself, and there is always the fear that you will expose the very thing that you hoped to transform. | 102 |
| Russell Baker | Roosevelt's declaration that Americans had 'nothing to fear but fear itself' was a glorious piece of inspirational rhetoric and just as gloriously wrong. | 102 |
| Shirley Jackson | I have always loved to use fear, to take it and comprehend it and make it work and consolidate a situation where I was afraid and take it whole and work from there. | 102 |
| Theodore C. Sorensen | 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. | 102 |
| Akhil Sharma | We are all human beings, immigrant or non-immigrant. We all feel fear. We all love and become confused when we don't act as well as we would like to. We all get depressed and have feelings of uselessness. All of these things are true and have always been true. | 102 |
| Amy Klobuchar | Finally, a good prosecutor knows that her job is to enforce the law without fear or favor. Likewise, a Supreme Court Justice must interpret the laws without fear or favor. | 102 |
| Ann Hood | I was a mother who worked ridiculously hard to keep catastrophe at bay. I didn't allow my kids to eat hamburgers for fear of E. coli. I didn't allow them to play with rope, string, balloons - anything that might strangle them. They had to bite grapes in half, avoid lollipops, eat only when I could watch them. | 102 |
| Chilon | When strong, be merciful, if you would have the respect, not the fear of your neighbors. | 102 |
| Chris Smith | When political leaders fail to denounce anti-Semitic violence and slurs, the void is not only demoralizing to the victims, but silence actually enables the wrongdoing. Silence by elected officials in particular conveys approval - or at least acquiescence - and can contribute to a climate of fear and a sense of vulnerability. | 102 |
| David D. Burns | I had the fear of heights when I was young, along with many other fears and phobias, including the fear of dogs, bees, horses, and blood. | 102 |
| Dorothy Thompson | Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live. | 102 |
| Gouverneur Morris | Americans need never fear their government because of the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation. | 102 |
| Lactantius | Where fear is present, wisdom cannot be. | 102 |
| Mary Gaitskill | Perhaps it should be obvious: Adultery is a social threat that arouses raw anger and fear, which the bellicose then need to discharge rather than merely feel, traditionally on the philandering wife or the female home-wrecker. | 102 |
| Melissa Etheridge | There is no fear when you choose love. The more you choose love, the more love is in your life. It gets easier and easier. | 102 |
| Rosanne Cash | The key to change... is to let go of fear. | 102 |
| Tamara Mellon | My motto is: feel the fear and do it anyway. | 102 |
| Alfred Eisenstaedt | When I have a camera in my hand, I know no fear. | 102 |
| Colin Baker | One way of watering down the effects of violence is to approach it in a more lighthearted way. I don't mean to say that you laugh when somebody has their arm sawn off, but you can diffuse fear with humour. | 102 |
| Denis Villeneuve | I think I'm attracted to subjects that I'm afraid of. It's a way to approach things I am afraid of, things that bring fear in my heart, and try to understand them, try to deal with them. It's like demons. I try to approach it and understand it... I'm just visiting fears. | 102 |
| Gary Ryan Blair | Discipline is based on pride, on meticulous attention to details, and on mutual respect and confidence. Discipline must be a habit so ingrained that it is stronger than the excitement of the goal or the fear of failure. | 102 |
| Laura Wilkinson | I love overcoming challenges and fear. | 102 |
| Laurence D. Fink | One of the key elements of human behavior is, humans have a greater fear of loss than enjoyment of success. All the academic studies will show you that the fear of loss of capital is far greater than the enjoyment of gains. | 102 |
| Mary Manin Morrissey | Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today? | 102 |
| Pierre Beaumarchais | I hasten to laugh at everything, for fear of being obliged to weep. | 102 |
| Robbie Coltrane | See, what you're meant to do when you have a mid-life crisis is buy a fast car, aren't you? Well, I've always had fast cars. It's not that. It's the fear that you're past your best. It's the fear that the stuff you've done in the past is your best work. | 102 |
| Daria Werbowy | Sailing is the closest I can get to nature - it's adrenaline, fear, a constant challenge and learning experience, an adventure into the unknown. And of course there is nothing better than wearing the same T-shirt for days and not brushing my hair for weeks. | 102 |
| John Randolph | The surest way to prevent war is not to fear it. | 102 |
| Mary Schmich | A line from one of my 1997 columns - 'Do one thing every day that scares you' - is now widely attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, though I have yet to see any evidence that she ever said it and I don't believe she did. She said some things about fear, but not that thing. | 102 |
| Sarah Parish | Living with fear stops us taking risks, and if you don't go out on the branch, you're never going to get the best fruit. | 102 |
| Chauncey Depew | Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the dangers of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of 'crackpot' than the stigma of conformity. And on issues that seem important to you, stand up and be counted at any cost. | 102 |
| Max Frisch | Jealousy is the fear of comparison. | 102 |
| Maxwell | I will say to all the fellas out there that, seriously, I am a setup. I'm just like rose petals. I'm like incense. I'm a background thing for you when you do your thing with your lady. I'm a friend, only assisting you in your lurve machinations. So have no fear of me, people. | 102 |
| Anna Jameson | In morals what begins in fear usually ends in wickedness; in religion what begins in fear usually ends in fanaticism. Fear, either as a principle or a motive, is the beginning of all evil. | 102 |
| Jane Krakowski | I still get thrilled by the energy that is a live performance, the fear and the panic and the electricity that happens on the night. I think jolting myself every once in a while with that fear is a good thing for me. | 102 |
| Mary Catherine Bateson | Fear is not a good teacher. The lessons of fear are quickly forgotten. | 102 |
| Shanley Caswell | I like the paranormal side a lot; that's my favorite kind of horror movie because it plays on your fear of the dark and makes you go home, and you can't sleep at night. | 102 |
| Maggie Kuhn | Stand before the people you fear and speak your mind - even if your voice shakes. | 102 |
| Richard Harris Barham | Knight without fear and without reproach. | 102 |
| Anthony de Mello | It is a great mystery that though the human heart longs for Truth, in which alone it finds liberation and delight, the first reaction of human beings to Truth is one of hostility and fear! | 102 |
| Merle Shain | Loving can cost a lot but not loving always costs more, and those who fear to love often find that want of love is an emptiness that robs the joy from life. | 102 |
| Jann Wenner | To rush to throw away your magazine business and move it on the iPad is just sheer insanity and insecurity and fear. | 102 |
| John Berryman | We must travel in the direction of our fear. | 102 |
| Nelson Mandela | I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. | 103 |
| Plato | We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. | 103 |
| Sun Tzu | If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles. | 103 |
| Eckhart Tolle | Boredom, anger, sadness, or fear are not 'yours,' not personal. They are conditions of the human mind. They come and go. Nothing that comes and goes is you. | 103 |
| Epicurus | It is better for you to be free of fear lying upon a pallet, than to have a golden couch and a rich table and be full of trouble. | 103 |
| Francis of Assisi | Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. | 103 |
| Fyodor Dostoevsky | There are things which a man is afraid to tell even to himself, and every decent man has a number of such things stored away in his mind. | 103 |
| Nikos Kazantzakis | I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free. | 103 |
| Edmund Hillary | I'm sure the feeling of fear, as long as you can take advantage of it and not be rendered useless by it, can make you extend yourself beyond what you would regard as your capacity. If you're afraid, the blood seems to flow freely through the veins, and you really do feel a sense of stimulation. | 103 |
| Marie Curie | Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less. | 103 |
| Adam Richman | A good spicy challenge strikes a balance between flavour and fear. | 103 |
| Alicia Keys | Failure isn't an option. I've erased the word 'fear' from my vocabulary, and I think when you erase fear, you can't fail. | 103 |
| Anthony Bourdain | Bad food is made without pride, by cooks who have no pride, and no love. Bad food is made by chefs who are indifferent, or who are trying to be everything to everybody, who are trying to please everyone... Bad food is fake food... food that shows fear and lack of confidence in people's ability to discern or to make decisions about their lives. | 103 |
| Brian Tracy | The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear. | 103 |
| Cesare Beccaria | Men's most superficial feelings lead them to prefer cruel laws. Nevertheless, when they are subjected to them themselves, it is in each man's interest that they be moderate, because the fear of being injured is greater than the desire to injure. | 103 |
| David Whyte | A sure sign of a soul-based workplace is excitement, enthusiasm, real passion; not manufactured passion, but real involvement. And there's very little fear. | 103 |
| Eric Kandel | In order to produce learned fear, you take a neutral stimulus like a tone, and you pair it with an electrical shock. Tone, shock. Tone, shock. So the animal learns that the tone is bad news. But you can also do the opposite - shock it at other times, but never when the tone comes on. | 103 |
| Freida Pinto | I'd like to jump out of a plane. I have a fear of heights I'd like to face. | 103 |
| G. Gordon Liddy | They were afraid, never having learned what I taught myself: Defeat the fear of death and welcome the death of fear. | 103 |
| Gary Busey | Fear is the dark room where the Devil develops his negatives. | 103 |
| Glenn Greenwald | Many of the benefits from keeping terrorism fear levels high are obvious. Private corporations suck up massive amounts of Homeland Security cash as long as that fear persists, while government officials in the National Security and Surveillance State can claim unlimited powers and operate with unlimited secrecy and no accountability. | 103 |
| Henry Louis Gates | People are afraid, and when people are afraid, when their pie is shrinking, they look for somebody to hate. They look for somebody to blame. And a real leader speaks to anxiety and to fear and allays those fears, assuages anxiety. | 103 |
| Katrina Kaif | I have a very positive attitude in life. My insecurity, fear and need to know about tomorrow has fortunately eased. What is going to happen will happen anyway. So why break my head over it? | 103 |
| Lewis Thomas | A lot of people fear death because they think that so overwhelming an experience has to be painful, but I've seen quite a few deaths, and, with one exception, I've never known anyone to undergo anything like agony. That's amazing when you think about it. I mean, how complicated the mechanism is that's being taken apart. | 103 |
| Liza Minnelli | The regrets of yesterday and the fear of tomorrow can kill you. | 103 |
| Paul Giamatti | As an actor, to have achieved financial stability is amazing. But I always have this weird fear that I'm not going to get any more work; it's about not having enough money. | 103 |
| Pearl S. Buck | Our society must make it right and possible for old people not to fear the young or be deserted by them, for the test of a civilization is the way that it cares for its helpless members. | 103 |
| Penelope Cruz | My first fear was about the devil, when I was around fire, something I saw in a movie. I think it's about pain, in whichever form it comes. | 103 |
| Rosie O'Donnell | Don't fear the terrorists. They're mothers and fathers. | 103 |
| Salman Rushdie | Vertigo is the conflict between the fear of falling and the desire to fall. | 103 |
| Sebastian Junger | Of the primary emotions, fear is the one that bears most directly on survival. Children show fear. Adults try not to, maybe because it's shameful, or, in some circumstances, dangerous. The fear response is automatic, though, and your body runs through its reflexes whether you want it to or not. | 103 |
| Tacitus | Fear is not in the habit of speaking truth; when perfect sincerity is expected, perfect freedom must be allowed; nor has anyone who is apt to be angry when he hears the truth any cause to wonder that he does not hear it. | 103 |
| Vanessa Paradis | Fear can make all of us do the wrong things sometimes. | 103 |
| August Wilson | I'm a De Niro fan. I went eleven years without seeing a movie; the last one before that, February 1980, was De Niro and Scorsese in 'Raging Bull,' and when I went back, it was 'Cape Fear,' with De Niro and Scorsese. I picked up right where I left off at. | 103 |
| Bill Owens | Freedom is contagious. That's why despots fear it so much. | 103 |
| Danica McKellar | My main concern with the condition of mathematics in high school is that there's a lot of fear involved! Math is not, generally speaking, presented in a fun way. The concepts, as I see them, are fun, and that's the way I'd like to convey them myself. | 103 |
| David Joseph Schwartz | To fight fear, act. To increase fear - wait, put off postpone. | 103 |
| Frank Serpico | An honest cop still can't find a place to go and complain without fear of recrimination. The blue wall will always be there because the system supports it. | 103 |
| Jeremy Corbyn | It is important that politicians defend their ability to act without fear or favour, and it is in the public interest that they hold ministers and public servants to account. | 103 |
| Joseph Prince | I began to realize that when people experience the love of God, it casts out their fear and frees them from guilt. | 103 |
| Lionel Richie | Greatness comes from fear. Fear can either shut us down and we go home, or we fight through it. | 103 |
| Rufus Sewell | When I left drama school, my fear was that I'd get pigeon holed into comic acting and I did so much to counter it that I got stuck in the opposite. | 103 |
| Steven Brust | To seek understanding before taking action, yet to trust my instincts when action is called for. Never to avoid danger from fear, never to seek out danger for its own sake. Never to conform to fashion from fear of eccentricity, never to be eccentric from fear of conformity. | 103 |
| Stewart Udall | We have, I fear, confused power with greatness. | 103 |
| William Gurnall | Humble souls are fearful of their own strength. | 103 |
| A. J. P. Taylor | The greatest problem about old age is the fear that it may go on too long. | 103 |
| David D. Burns | People who are prone to anxiety are nearly always people-pleasers who fear conflict and negative feelings like anger. When you feel upset, you sweep your problems under the rug because you don't want to upset anyone. You do this so quickly and automatically that you're not even aware you're doing it. | 103 |
| Edward Albert | Some days it is a heroic act just to refuse the paralysis of fear and straighten up and step into another day. | 103 |
| Etty Hillesum | I think what weakens people most is fear of wasting their strength. | 103 |
| Fulton Oursler | Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves - regret for the past and fear of the future. | 103 |
| Gary Larson | I think one thing that's important to maintain is a sense of fear, always doubting yourself... a good dose of insecurity helps your work in some ways. | 103 |
| Judy Blume | Let children read whatever they want and then talk about it with them. If parents and kids can talk together, we won't have as much censorship because we won't have as much fear. | 103 |
| Louise Mensch | We'd all survive if Twitter shut down for a short while during major riots. Social media isn't any more important than a train station, a road or a bus service. We don't worry about police temporarily closing those. Common sense. If riot info and fear is spreading by Facebook and Twitter, shut them off for an hour or two, then restore. | 103 |
| Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva | My greatest desire is that the hope that has overcome fear in my country will help vanquish it around the world. | 103 |
| Michael Sheen | On the one hand Twitter gives you the opportunity to engage with people, which is great, but on the other there are people who feel they can say whatever they want, put poison out there, really, without fear of any repercussions. | 103 |
| Moses Mendelssohn | I fear that, in the end, the famous debate among materialists, idealists, and dualists amounts to a merely verbal dispute that is more a matter for the linguist than for the speculative philosopher. | 103 |
| Muqtada al Sadr | I wish to be a martyr, and I don't fear death. | 103 |
| Naomi Klein | Politics hates a vacuum. If it isn't filled with hope, someone will fill it with fear. | 103 |
| Ricki-Lee Coulter | I feel liberated, empowered, inspired and motivated. Fear holds you back from achieving what you want in life. | 103 |
| Sylvia Browne | The weeds keep multiplying in our garden, which is our mind ruled by fear. Rip them out and call them by name. | 103 |
| Ted Dekker | The good news is that even though we walk through this valley of death, we don't have to fear, at least not for ourselves! Unfortunately, there is no way to skip over the valley altogether, we must face death and the evidence of evil all around us. But there will come a day... And what a day that will be! | 103 |
| Georges St-Pierre | For me, personally, when I'm afraid of something - when you're afraid of something, normally you try to go away, you try to avoid it. Instead of avoiding it, to overcome your fear, I believe you need to embrace it. | 103 |
| Harold Kushner | I am convinced that it is not the fear of death, of our lives ending that haunts our sleep so much as the fear... that as far as the world is concerned, we might as well never have lived. | 103 |
| Jim Ryun | Mr. Chairman, on September 11, we were attacked by terrorists who took advantage of weaknesses in our border security. After infiltrating our country, the terrorists were able to conceal their real identities, and thereby plot their attacks without fear of being apprehended. | 103 |
| Katharine Butler Hathaway | If you let your fear of consequence prevent you from following your deepest instinct, your life will be safe, expedient and thin. | 103 |
| Persius | We consume our tomorrows fretting about our yesterdays. | 103 |
| Radhanath Swami | In religion, there's a certain type of fear that if somebody believes differently from me, that it's a threat. Because I'm right, and there cannot be two ways that are right, so if I'm right, anything different than this must be wrong; and we attack those things and it's really due to insecurity, ego and fear. | 103 |
| Tad Williams | 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. | 103 |
| Jennifer Jason Leigh | People equate success with youth. And if you haven't had a certain amount of success by a certain time in your life, it's never going to happen. There's a fear about that. So people start lying about their age really young. I've never done that because I think it's so insignificant. | 103 |
| Jenson Button | To drive an F1 car you have to be a little mad. On the morning of a race there's a mix of excitement and fear. If it's a wet track, then it's worse as you're not in control most of the time, which is the thing all drivers fear the most. | 103 |
| Shalom Harlow | I think there's a lot projected on beautiful women, period. At least, maybe this is just my fear, but I do sometimes feel dismissed before I've even been allowed to participate. I have moments of feeling really wounded. But I am pretty optimistic, and I do enjoy a lot of my life. | 103 |
| Sonia Johnson | What we have most to fear is failure of the heart. | 103 |
| Julien Green | A child's fear is a world whose dark corners are quite unknown to grownup people; it has its sky and its abysses, a sky without stars, abysses into which no light can ever penetrate. | 103 |
| Susan Polis Schutz | It's often difficult for those who are lucky enough to have never experienced what true depression is to imagine a life of complete hopelessness, emptiness and fear. | 103 |
| Joseph J. Lhota | I do fear God, but I will also tell you that when a doctor diagnoses you and the word 'cancer' comes out of his mouth, at that point, it changes your life and you do fear less and it also has allowed me to be a lot more open as a person. It's changed me. | 103 |
| Julia Ward Howe | I know not why there is such a melancholy feeling attached to the remembrance of past happiness, except that we fear that the future can have nothing so bright as the past. | 103 |
| George S. Patton | Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood. | 104 |
| H. P. Lovecraft | The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. | 104 |
| Kobe Bryant | I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights when I show up at the arena and I'm like, 'My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. I don't have it. I just want to chill.' We all have self-doubt. You don't deny it, but you also don't capitulate to it. You embrace it. | 104 |
| Lord Byron | Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey. | 104 |
| D. H. Lawrence | Men! The only animal in the world to fear. | 104 |
| Rene Magritte | We must not fear daylight just because it almost always illuminates a miserable world. | 104 |
| Anne Lamott | My coming to faith did not start with a leap but rather a series of staggers from what seemed like one safe place to another. Like lily pads, round and green, these places summoned and then held me up while I grew. Each prepared me for the next leaf on which I would land, and in this way I moved across the swamp of doubt and fear. | 104 |
| Ben Stein | Sleep makes people calmer, more alert, less fearful - just plain happier, or so I see around me and in me. I am sure that if this great nation were to concentrate on getting more sleep, we would be a happier, more confident people, and that by itself would be a major achievement. | 104 |
| Candace Bushnell | You don't have to do everything by the time you're 30. Or 40. All you need is a work ethic. It's what allows you to push through moments of disappointment and self-doubt and fear. | 104 |
| Chris Hardwick | For me personally, I have a fear of, 'If I stop, I'm going to die.' If I stop doing the things that are enriching to me or creatively exciting to me or if I stop creating, then I feel stagnant. If something isn't growing, it's dying. | 104 |
| Chris Pine | Fear runs our lives. It doesn't matter who you are. You have to understand your relationship with fear. Whether you're scared of getting into a relationship; or taking the new job; or a confrontation - you have to size fear up. | 104 |
| Gary Zukav | When someone fears losing your affection, he or she will strive to keep it. Perhaps you have strived to keep someone's affection, too. Fear of loss is not love. | 104 |
| Ginnifer Goodwin | But I love being scared. I think you're brave only when you do things that scare you. I've always used fear as a motivator. I'm not sure why. | 104 |
| Glenn Greenwald | An elite class that is free to operate without limits - whether limits imposed by the rule of law or fear of the responses from those harmed by their behavior - is an elite class that will plunder, degrade, and cheat at will, and act endlessly to fortify its own power. | 104 |
| Halle Berry | My whole life I've had the fear that I was going to be abandoned. | 104 |
| John Wesley | Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not whether they be clergymen or laymen, they alone will shake the gates of Hell and set up the kingdom of Heaven upon Earth. | 104 |
| Nick Jonas | It sounds funny, but my biggest fear is that I'm not perfect. I'm a perfectionist, and I get upset when things go wrong or when I don't do well. | 104 |
| Otto Dix | People were already beginning to forget, what horrible suffering the war had brought them. I did not want to cause fear and panic, but to let people know how dreadful war is and so to stimulate people's powers of resistance. | 104 |
| Robert Green Ingersoll | When the will defies fear, when duty throws the gauntlet down to fate, when honor scorns to compromise with death - that is heroism. | 104 |
| Rudy Giuliani | Civilization must stand up and combat the current collapse of governance, the rise of violence, and the spread of chaos and fear in many parts of the world. | 104 |
| Susan Cain | Shyness is about the fear of social judgments - at a job interview or a party you might be excessively worried about what people think of you. Whereas an introvert might not feel any of those things at all, they simply have the preference to be in a quieter setting. | 104 |
| Ashley Tisdale | I definitely think cheerleaders have no fear. | 104 |
| Bernard Law Montgomery | Discipline strengthens the mind so that it becomes impervious to the corroding influence of fear. | 104 |
| Brendan Myers | Our world is utterly saturated with fear. We fear being attacked by religious extremists, both foreign and domestic. We fear the loss of political rights, a loss of privacy, or a loss of freedom. We fear being injured, robbed or attacked, being judged by others, or neglected, or left unloved. | 104 |
| Dean Inge | I have no fear that the candle lighted in Palestine years ago will ever be put out. | 104 |
| Fernando Flores | Great work is done by people who are not afraid to be great. | 104 |
| John Paul Jones | If fear is cultivated it will become stronger, if faith is cultivated it will achieve mastery. | 104 |
| Karen Thompson Walker | Feeling earthquakes was part of growing up, and also preparing for them: doing earthquake drills, or having earthquake supplies. The looming feeling was part of my life. My experience of earthquakes has always been more the fear of them, or the possibility. | 104 |
| Mandy Moore | The unknown used to be really scary, just that fear of, 'What's next? What if I'm not prepared?' I just don't feel that way anymore. I feel like the best is yet to come. | 104 |
| Natan Sharansky | When we are unwilling to draw clear moral lines between free societies and fear societies, when we are unwilling to call the former good and the latter evil, we will not be able to advance the cause of peace because peace cannot be disconnected from freedom. | 104 |
| Rhys Ifans | Shyness is invariably a suppression of something. It's almost a fear of what you're capable of. | 104 |
| Ron Fournier | 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. | 104 |
| Andrew Cohen | Most men are very attached to the idea of being male, and usually experience a lot of fear and insecurity around the idea of being a man. Most women are very identified with their gender, and also experience a tremendous amount of fear and insecurity. | 104 |
| Dean Ornish | Because the biological mechanisms that affect our health and well-being are so dynamic, when people change their diet and lifestyle, they usually feel so much better, so quickly; it reframes the reason for changing from fear of dying to joy of living. Also, the support that patients give each other is a powerful motivator. | 104 |
| Dorothy Thompson | There is nothing to fear except the persistent refusal to find out the truth, the persistent refusal to analyze the causes of happenings. | 104 |
| Edward Albert | Fear is the only true enemy, born of ignorance and the parent of anger and hate. | 104 |
| Hans Bender | Good and evil do not exist for me any more. The fear of evil is merely a mass projection here and on Earth. | 104 |
| Jane Velez-Mitchell | The raccoons, foxes, beavers, chinchillas, minks, rabbits, and yes, sometimes even dogs and cats that are killed for fur are not very different from your beloved dog or cat. They all have eyes, ears and hearts. They all experience pain when they are physically maimed. They shake with fear when they experience terror. | 104 |
| Kurt Sutter | I'm a guy who has problems with moderation. All or nothing. Binge and purge. Kill or be killed. Gray is not a color I wear well. I should be dead. I know that. I should not be successful. I know that too. My daily existence is a toss of the coin - one side, fear, the other side, gratitude. | 104 |
| Rickie Lee Jones | There is no fear before and no fear after. We give our best. | 104 |
| Tammy Faye Bakker | Don't let fear rule your life. Live one day at a time, and never be afraid. | 104 |
| Emanuel Steward | I went to a motivational training course once, a course of self-discovery, and I found out after a week that my fear - it was not a fear of not being accepted - was a very violent fear of failure. | 104 |
| Jeff Gordon | I think fear is what keeps us from going over the edge. I mean, as a race car driver, I don't think what makes a good race car driver is a fearless person. I think it's somebody that is comfortable being behind the wheel of something that's somewhat out of control. | 104 |
| T. Harv Eker | The biggest obstacle to wealth is fear. People are afraid to think big, but if you think small, you'll only achieve small things. | 104 |
| Dan Millman | Willpower is the key to success. Successful people strive no matter what they feel by applying their will to overcome apathy, doubt or fear. | 104 |
| Jenna Jameson | When you're fearful, you stumble. | 104 |
| Jason Kidd | My biggest fear had always been getting hurt, and not being able to leave the game as a player on my own terms. | 104 |
| Franklin D. Roosevelt | The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. | 105 |
| Franz Kafka | My 'fear' is my substance, and probably the best part of me. | 105 |
| Thomas Paine | I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death. | 105 |
| Tupac Shakur | I don't have no fear of death. My only fear is coming back reincarnated. | 105 |
| Keith Richards | To me, my biggest fear is getting a big head, and that is when I get the hammer. Because it's very easy in this game to believe you're something special. | 105 |
| Charles de Montesquieu | There is no nation so powerful, as the one that obeys its laws not from principals of fear or reason, but from passion. | 105 |
| Jiddu Krishnamurti | You may be educated abroad, you may be a great scientist, politician, but you always have a sneaking fear that if you don't go to temples or do the ordinary things that you have been told to do, something evil might happen, so you conform. What happens to the mind that conforms? Investigate it, please. | 105 |
| Al Sharpton | From racial profiling and being pulled over just for 'driving while black' to this new phenomenon of killing unarmed people out of some preconceived idea of fear, our lives and our children's lives are not being valued. | 105 |
| Brad Pitt | Perhaps we don't need these religious concoctions to pillow the fear of death. Just the fact that there is an unknown, and something greater, can bring a feeling of peace. That's enough for me. | 105 |
| Charles B. Rangel | The Klan had used fear, intimidation and murder to brutally oppress over African-Americans who sought justice and equality and it sought to respond to the young workers of the civil rights movement in Mississippi in the same way. | 105 |
| Charles Kennedy | Westminster is a jungle - and the hunter can always smell fear on its prey. | 105 |
| Chris Pine | Mediocrity scares me. It's the fear of not being as good as you want to be. If you give over to that fear, it will sabotage you. As much as I can, I try to use that fear to guide me. | 105 |
| Cornel West | My dear brother Barack Obama has a certain fear of free black men. As a young brother who grows up in a white context, brilliant African father, he's always had to fear being a white man with black skin. All he has known culturally is white. He has a certain rootlessness, a deracination. | 105 |
| Debbie Ford | The underbelly of the human psyche, what is often referred to as our dark side, is the origin of every act of self-sabotage. Birthed out of shame, fear, and denial, it misdirects our good intentions and drives us to unthinkable acts of self-destruction and not-so-unbelievable acts of self-sabotage. | 105 |
| Eduardo Galeano | The purpose of torture is not getting information. It's spreading fear. | 105 |
| Eli Roth | Possession and exorcism is something that's in every religion and every culture. It's a real primal fear: Is the body a vessel for our spirits? What happens if something else takes over it? Where does the spirit go? | 105 |
| Eric Holder | People feel uncomfortable talking about racial issues out of fear that if they express things, they will be characterized in a way that's not fair. I think that there is still a need for a dialogue about things racial that we've not engaged in. | 105 |
| Gordon Parks | At first I wasn't sure that I had the talent, but I did know I had a fear of failure, and that fear compelled me to fight off anything that might abet it. | 105 |
| 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. | 105 |
| James Thurber | Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in awareness. | 105 |
| Ken Burns | I think we too often make choices based on the safety of cynicism, and what we're lead to is a life not fully lived. Cynicism is fear, and it's worse than fear - it's active disengagement. | 105 |
| Kevin Costner | 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. | 105 |
| Kevyn Aucoin | Fear is the most debilitating emotion in the world, and it can keep you from ever truly knowing yourself and others - its adverse effects can no longer be overlooked or underestimated. Fear breeds hatred, and hatred has the power to destroy everything in its path. | 105 |
| Marina Abramovic | You see, what is my purpose of performance artist is to stage certain difficulties and stage the fear the primordial fear of pain, of dying, all of which we have in our lives, and then stage them in front of audience and go through them and tell the audience, 'I'm your mirror; if I can do this in my life, you can do it in yours.' | 105 |
| Nick Woodman | When I got out of college, I gave myself till I was 30 to invent a product. If I couldn't do it by then, I would just get a real job. And that fear - the fear of a real job - motivated me to be an entrepreneur. | 105 |
| Norman Borlaug | The forgotten world is made up primarily of the developing nations, where most of the people, comprising more than fifty percent of the total world population, live in poverty, with hunger as a constant companion and fear of famine a continual menace. | 105 |
| Ratan Tata | I came seriously close to getting married four times, and each time I backed off in fear or for one reason or another. Each occasion was different, but in hindsight when I look at the people involved, it wasn't a bad thing what I did. I think it may have been more complex had the marriage taken place. | 105 |
| Ricky Williams | To talk about balance, it's easier to talk about what's out of balance. And I think anytime that you have any disease, and disease meaning lack of ease, lack of flow... dis-ease. So any time there's disease, you're out of balance, whether it's jealousy, anger, greed, anxiety, fear. | 105 |
| Saint Ambrose | A good youth ought to have a fear of God, to be subject to his parents, to give honor to his elders, to preserve his purity; he ought not to despise humility, but should love forbearance and modesty. All these are an ornament to youthful years. | 105 |
| Seth Godin | Being aware of your fear is smart. Overcoming it is the mark of a successful person. | 105 |
| Shakira | I know what it's like to feel that fear and the need of affirmation and appreciation. To build confidence in yourself is the toughest thing. | 105 |
| Tecumseh | Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. | 105 |
| Alison Gopnik | We fear death so profoundly, not because it means the end of our body, but because it means the end of our consciousness - better to be a spirit in Heaven than a zombie on Earth. | 105 |
| Arianna Huffington | There's no love more intense than the love we have for our kids - and where there is intense love, there is also intense fear lurking beneath the surface. | 105 |
| Brendan Myers | There is nothing natural, inevitable, or necessary about the labyrinth of fear. We can liberate ourselves. There are better ways to live. Someone has to take the initiative to love and trust her fellow living creature and set us all free. | 105 |
| Burning Spear | I feel that no one should be ashamed or have fear or doubt within themselves when they speak about the roots or Africa wherein I and I originate from. It's like an individual who tries to disown himself, and to me, it is a form of defeat by disowning yourself. | 105 |
| Chaz Bono | For me, it was never a question of whether or not I was transgender. It was a question of what I'd be able to handle transitioning and having to do it in the public eye. One of the issues that was hard for me to overcome was the fear of that. | 105 |
| Damien Chazelle | My motivation for being a good drummer was born out of fear, which, in a way, seems so antithetical to what art should be. | 105 |
| Daniel H. Wilson | The fear of the never-ending onslaught of gizmos and gadgets is nothing new. The radio, the telephone, Facebook - each of these inventions changed the world. Each of them scared the heck out of an older generation. And each of them was invented by people who were in their 20s. | 105 |
| Emmanuelle Beart | 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. | 105 |
| Frank Iero | These days, all we hear about is that the industry is in trouble. Everybody is so scared, but our mission statement is having no fear. | 105 |
| Mitch Daniels | 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. | 105 |
| Peter Abelard | Our redemption through the suffering of Christ is that deeper love within us which not only frees us from slavery to sin, but also secures for us the true liberty of the children of God, in order that we might do all things out of love rather than out of fear - love for him that has shown us such grace that no greater can be found. | 105 |
| Rosemary Mahoney | I fear that my mind would starve and that I might find myself in danger if I had no visual information, that it's chiefly the light, the shapes, the spaces, the colors that I see that compel me to keep moving forward in life and that keep me safe. | 105 |
| Sam Shepard | Sides are being divided now. It's very obvious. So if you're on the other side of the fence, you're suddenly anti-American. It's breeding fear of being on the wrong side. | 105 |
| Sam Taylor-Wood | I have a massive phobia for schedules and calendars. I need people to tell me where I need to be. I can't bear to see it in black and white. I think it's a fear of being pinned down. | 105 |
| Shirley MacLaine | Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends. | 105 |
| Tim Cahill | A lot of the physical flirtation with fear I did early on in my career, when I was a much younger person - stuff I wouldn't do now. But I was very interested in the mechanics of risk and fear in those days. And I found out fear pretty much always feels the same, whether it's doing a rock climb or speaking in front of an audience. | 105 |
| David Ben-Gurion | Courage is a special kind of knowledge: the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought not to be feared. | 105 |
| Eli Whitney | I have now taken a serious task upon myself and I fear a greater one that is in the power of any man to perform in the given time-but it is too late to go back. | 105 |
| Joanna Lumley | A lot of us are ruled by fear during our lives - afraid we'll get burgled, afraid a dog will bite us, afraid we'll get fat, afraid someone will leave us. Once you lose fear, life becomes sweeter, and that happens as you get older. I'm sure by the time I'm 80, I'll be able to do absolutely anything! | 105 |
| John Stossel | The one thing I've learned is that stuttering in public is never as bad as I fear it will be. | 105 |
| Jonathan Winters | Well, the most terrible fear that anybody should have is not war, is not a disease, not cancer or heart problems or food poisoning - it's a man or a woman without a sense of humor. | 105 |
| Jonny Wilkinson | My own position is so far on the obsessive side of preparation and professionalism that I fear my point of view is not going to be shared by anyone. | 105 |
| Richard Le Gallienne | All religions have periods in their history which are looked back to with retrospective fear and trembling as eras of persecution, and each religion has its own book of martyrs. | 105 |
| Terry Gross | Anyone who agrees to be interviewed must decide where to draw the line between what is public and what is private. But the line can shift, depending on who is asking the questions. What puts someone on guard isn't necessarily the fear of being 'found out.' It sometimes is just the fear of being misunderstood. | 105 |
| Marvin Gaye | Most fear stems from sin; to limit one's sins, one must assuredly limit one's fear, thereby bringing more peace to one's spirit. | 105 |
| Ryan White | Because of the lack of education on AIDS, discrimination, fear, panic, and lies surrounded me. | 105 |
| Clyde Edgerton | If you are a good person, you will probably be a good father. Try not to worry too much. If you don't feel apprehensive just before your first child arrives, you are abnormal. Though catastrophe doesn't come as often in childbirth as it did a few generations ago, we naturally fear it. | 105 |
| Sharon Creech | I cannot just write a frivolous book, a la-di-da book. Everything isn't la-di-da. There is something that's going to pull you up short. I want to reassure young readers. I want to comfort them, to not fear the unexpected. | 105 |
| Jean Anouilh | We poison our lives with fear of burglary and shipwreck, and, ask anyone, the house is never burgled, and the ship never goes down. | 105 |
| Samuel Daniel | By adversity are wrought the greatest works of admiration, and all the fair examples of renown, out of distress and misery are grown. | 105 |
| Jack Lemmon | Failure seldom stops you. What stops you is the fear of failure. | 105 |
| Mark Twain | The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time. | 106 |
| Baruch Spinoza | Fear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear. | 106 |
| Florence Nightingale | How very little can be done under the spirit of fear. | 106 |
| Hunter S. Thompson | There is no such thing as paranoia. Your worst fears can come true at any moment. | 106 |
| Jim Morrison | Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free. | 106 |
| Noam Chomsky | The more you can increase fear of drugs and crime, welfare mothers, immigrants and aliens, the more you control all the people. | 106 |
| Saint Teresa of Avila | I do not fear Satan half so much as I fear those who fear him. | 106 |
| Elizabeth Cady Stanton | 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. | 106 |
| W. Clement Stone | Thinking will not overcome fear but action will. | 106 |
| Aeschylus | There are times when fear is good. It must keep its watchful place at the heart's controls. | 106 |
| Beth Ditto | You live in this shadow that you're going to burn in Hell until you're saved. And I still worry about it a little. I don't believe in Heaven, but I do still fear Hell. | 106 |
| Black Elk | And if the great fear had not come upon me, as it did, and forced me to do my duty, I might have been less good to the people than some man who had never dreamed at all, even with the memory of so great a vision in me. | 106 |
| Corrie Ten Boom | Worry is a cycle of inefficient thoughts whirling around a center of fear. | 106 |
| Eric Schlosser | The thing that's been inhibiting long-form investigative reporting is fear - fear of being sued, of being unpopular, of being criticized by very powerful groups. | 106 |
| Huey Newton | My fear was not of death itself, but a death without meaning. | 106 |
| Ivo Andric | Between the fear that something would happen and the hope that still it wouldn't, there is much more space than one thinks. On that narrow, hard, bare and dark space a lot of us spend their lives. | 106 |
| James K. Polk | The world has nothing to fear from military ambition in our Government. | 106 |
| John Mayer | You cannot avoid war in life, you cannot avoid the fear of terrorism, you cannot avoid those things now, they are a part of everyday demeanor. | 106 |
| Laura Schlessinger | This is all you have. This is not a dry run. This is your life. If you want to fritter it away with your fears, then you will fritter it away, but you won't get it back later. | 106 |
| Molly Ivins | Many a time freedom has been rolled back - and always for the same sorry reason: fear. | 106 |
| Pliny the Elder | Grief has limits, whereas apprehension has none. For we grieve only for what we know has happened, but we fear all that possibly may happen. | 106 |
| Samuel Taylor Coleridge | In politics, what begins in fear usually ends in failure. | 106 |
| Tertullian | Nature soaks every evil with either fear or shame. | 106 |
| Virgil Thomson | 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. | 106 |
| Warren Farrell | When women hold off from marrying men, we call it independence. When men hold off from marrying women, we call it fear of commitment. | 106 |
| Woody Harrelson | When I had just started 'Cheers,' my nerves were ajangle, to put it mildly. I was absolutely terrified. What you're learning is to not show the fear, and to ultimately overcome it so that the level of relaxation is commensurate with the level of tension. | 106 |
| Bashar al-Assad | Worry does not mean fear, but readiness for the confrontation. | 106 |
| Cecil Beaton | Americans have an abiding belief in their ability to control reality by purely material means... airline insurance replaces the fear of death with the comforting prospect of cash. | 106 |
| Cyril Connolly | Hate is the consequence of fear; we fear something before we hate it; a child who fears noises becomes a man who hates noise. | 106 |
| David Guetta | I'm not the type of person to live in fear. I think positively. | 106 |
| Duane Chapman | You can't be afraid to put out a fire if you're a fireman. You can't be afraid to be a police officer and carry a gun if you're afraid to get up and go out there. So you've got to put that fear to the side and go out in faith to overcome that. | 106 |
| Gabrielle Union | You get so afraid of failure and so afraid of losing and so afraid of not being the best that it's not a natural drive - it's born out of fear of failure. Which helps in Hollywood. | 106 |
| Jeffrey Kluger | Vaccines save lives; fear endangers them. It's a simple message parents need to keep hearing. | 106 |
| John Dryden | Boldness is a mask for fear, however great. | 106 |
| Jonathan Sacks | Jews survived all the defeats, expulsions, persecutions and pogroms, the centuries in which they were regarded as a pariah people, even the Holocaust itself, because they never gave up the faith that one day they would be free to live as Jews without fear. | 106 |
| Mary Roach | I don't fear death so much as I fear its prologues: loneliness, decrepitude, pain, debilitation, depression, senility. After a few years of those, I imagine death presents like a holiday at the beach. | 106 |
| Michael Ignatieff | The detention of Japanese Americans during World War II would qualify as an example of majoritarian tyranny and misuse of executive prerogative, driven by fear and racial bias. | 106 |
| Tony Snow | Yet, it ought to be obvious that good music generally occupies a higher plane that mere politics. Great writers can express moods through melody and capture experiences we share most powerfully - love, lust, longing; joy, rage, fear; triumph, yearning and confusion. | 106 |
| Barry Bonds | But to be the best, you must face the best. And to overcome your fear, you must deal with the best. | 106 |
| John Ortberg | 'Amusement' is appealing because we don't have to think; it spares us the fear and anxiety that might otherwise prey on our thoughts. | 106 |
| Terry Gross | It sometimes is just the fear of being misunderstood. | 106 |
| Abu Bakar Bashir | You are right, but the weakness does not come from the millions of Muslims in the world. They do not mind being radical, they have no fear to speak out and to protest and to jihad. | 106 |
| Alan Autry | We can no longer let the threat of an early frost send a chill of fear throughout a large portion of our workforce. Diversification is the only answer. | 106 |
| Robert Trout | We fear doing too little when we should do more. Then atone by doing too much, when perhaps we should do less. | 106 |
| James Stephens | Curiosity will conquer fear even more than bravery will. | 106 |
| Dale Carnegie | Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy. | 107 |
| George W. Bush | The course of this conflict is not known, yet its outcome is certain. Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them. | 107 |
| Malala Yousafzai | The terrorists thought they would change my aims and stop my ambitions, but nothing changed in my life except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage were born. | 107 |
| Salvador Dali | Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it. | 107 |
| Stephen Bannon | Fear is a good thing. Fear is going to lead you to take action. | 107 |
| Swami Vivekananda | The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed. | 107 |
| Indira Gandhi | If I die a violent death, as some fear and a few are plotting, I know that the violence will be in the thought and the action of the assassins, not in my dying. | 107 |
| Kevin Mitnick | Should we fear hackers? Intention is at the heart of this discussion. | 107 |
| Julia Child | I think one of the terrible things today is that people have this deathly fear of food: fear of eggs, say, or fear of butter. Most doctors feel that you can have a little bit of everything. | 107 |
| Zora Neale Hurston | Grab the broom of anger and drive off the beast of fear. | 107 |
| Abu Bakr | When you advise any person you should be guided by the fear of God. | 107 |
| Babe Ruth | Never let the fear of striking out get in your way. | 107 |
| Billy Corgan | I do not trust those who make the vaccines, or the apparatus behind it all to push it on us through fear. | 107 |
| Chris Hadfield | A lot of people live in fear because they haven't figured out how you're going to react when faced with a certain set of circumstances. I've come to terms with this by looking deeply into whatever makes me fearful - what are the key elements that get the hairs up on the back of my neck - and then figuring out what I can do about it. | 107 |
| David Chang | Fear is a driving force for most of the things that I do. I don't know if that's healthy. | 107 |
| Eric Clapton | Music became a healer for me. And I learned to listen with all my being. I found that it could wipe away all the emotions of fear and confusion relating to my family. | 107 |
| Lech Walesa | I'm a man of faith. I only fear God, and my wife - sometimes. | 107 |
| Olga Kurylenko | What's interesting is to be sexy but not know it. You'll be in a restaurant, and some girls will walk in and you can tell that they really want to be sexy. It's written on their faces because that's all they want to show. There's a fear that one might not look further. | 107 |
| Ramana Maharshi | If there is anything besides the Self there is reason to fear? Who sees the second? First, the ego arises and sees objects as external. If the ego does not rise, the Self alone exists and there is no second. | 107 |
| Ricky Martin | You just have to get rid of fear and confront the world. Look at yourself in the mirror and say to yourself, 'I love you and nothing will destroy you and you're not going to fall.' | 107 |
| Sammy Davis, Jr. | You always have two choices: your commitment versus your fear. | 107 |
| Sean Connery | Laughter kills fear, and without fear there can be no faith. For without fear of the devil there is no need for God. | 107 |
| Stevie Nicks | I am pretty fearless, and you know why? Because I don't handle fear very well; I'm not a good terrified person. | 107 |
| Antonio Tabucchi | Like a blazing comet, I've traversed infinite nights, interstellar spaces of the imagination, voluptuousness and fear. | 107 |
| Chuck Yeager | I was always afraid of dying. Always. It was my fear that made me learn everything I could about my airplane and my emergency equipment, and kept me flying respectful of my machine and always alert in the cockpit. | 107 |
| Criss Angel | One of the most gratifying things I get as an artist is when people watch me do these different demonstrations, and they in some way feel empowered by what I'm doing so they can confront their own fears. Maybe it's the fear of getting in an elevator; maybe it's the fear of going on a plane and seeing the world. | 107 |
| Jane McGonigal | Positive health means becoming whole-heartedly engaged with our own health care. It means not outsourcing our health to the health care system. It means getting rid of the fear and paralysis we too often feel, and instead cultivating a sense of agency. | 107 |
| Portia de Rossi | My feelings for Ellen overrode all of my fear about being out as a lesbian. I had to be with her, and I just figured I'd deal with the other stuff later. | 107 |
| William Shenstone | Jealousy is the fear or apprehension of superiority: envy our uneasiness under it. | 107 |
| Jake Gyllenhaal | Every journey starts with fear. | 107 |
| Muqtada al Sadr | I fear only God, all praises to Him. | 107 |
| John Cassavetes | You can defeat fear through humor, through pain, through honesty, bravery, intuition, and through love in the truest sense. | 107 |
| Joko Beck | Underneath our nice, friendly facades there is great unease. If I were to scratch below the surface of anyone I would find fear, pain, and anxiety running amok. We all have ways to cover them up. We overeat, over-drink, overwork; we watch too much television. | 107 |
| Eleanor Roosevelt | We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all. | 108 |
| Nicolaus Copernicus | Therefore, when I considered this carefully, the contempt which I had to fear because of the novelty and apparent absurdity of my view, nearly induced me to abandon utterly the work I had begun. | 108 |
| Christopher Columbus | No one should fear to undertake any task in the name of our Saviour, if it is just and if the intention is purely for His holy service. | 108 |
| Jiddu Krishnamurti | 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. | 108 |
| Rainer Maria Rilke | One had to take some action against fear when once it laid hold of one. | 108 |
| Brendan Behan | Every man, through fear, mugs his aspirations a dozen times a day. | 108 |
| Dawn French | I have turned away from the thought of writing fiction in the past through what I suppose is, actually, fear. The direct, raw invitation for the reader to come in and explore my imagination is fairly scary for me so I have busied myself with so much else. | 108 |
| Fred Allen | Some movie stars wear their sunglasses even in church. They're afraid God might recognize them and ask for autographs. | 108 |
| George Washington Carver | Fear of something is at the root of hate for others, and hate within will eventually destroy the hater. | 108 |
| Ingrid Newkirk | Every animal has his or her story, his or her thoughts, daydreams, and interests. All feel joy and love, pain and fear, as we now know beyond any shadow of a doubt. All deserve that the human animal afford them the respect of being cared for with great consideration for those interests or left in peace. | 108 |
| John Calvin | Seeing that a Pilot steers the ship in which we sail, who will never allow us to perish even in the midst of shipwrecks, there is no reason why our minds should be overwhelmed with fear and overcome with weariness. | 108 |
| Mark McKinnon | The problem with State of the Union speeches is that they are, by their nature and design, alphabet soup. It's hard to know what a president really cares about when they run down a laundry list and check every issue box under the sun for fear they will offend some constituency if they don't. | 108 |
| Martha Beck | Hopeful thinking can get you out of your fear zone and into your appreciation zone. | 108 |
| Natalie Dormer | For me, it's not necessarily interesting to play a strong, fearless woman. It's interesting to play a woman who is terrified and then overcomes that fear. It's about the journey. Courage is not the absence of fear, it's overcoming it. | 108 |
| Nhat Hanh | We are looking for happiness and running after it in such a way that creates anger, fear and discrimination. So when you attend a retreat, you have a chance to look at the deep roots of this pollution of the collective energy that is unwholesome. | 108 |
| Octavia Butler | I wanted to write a novel that would make others feel the history: the pain and fear that black people have had to live through in order to endure. | 108 |
| Robert Burns | Dare to be honest and fear no labor. | 108 |
| Ronda Rousey | People say to me all the time, 'You have no fear.' I tell them, 'No, that's not true. I'm scared all the time. You have to have fear in order to have courage. I'm a courageous person because I'm a scared person.' | 108 |
| Sandra Day O'Connor | It is a measure of the framers' fear that a passing majority might find it expedient to compromise 4th Amendment values that these values were embodied in the Constitution itself. | 108 |
| Thomas Frank | When the entertainers of the Right aren't declaring their disgust with President Obama for groveling before foreign potentates, they're pretending to fear him as a left-wing thug, an exemplar of what they call 'the Chicago way.' | 108 |
| Tony McCoy | Essentially, I am a dreamer. I've dreamed all my life. When I started, I dreamed I'd be Champion because it is a sport that is all about the people who win the most, and I have a fear of not winning. | 108 |
| Vir Das | I fear debt. I don't like being indebted to banks. I have a rule in life that I will get it when I can afford it. | 108 |
| Georges Bernanos | It is the perpetual dread of fear, the fear of fear, that shapes the face of a brave man. | 108 |
| James D. Watson | I have a son, who is a... not an ordinary form of schizophrenia, but clearly, cannot take care of himself. And the great fear of then, of all parents is, when the parents die, who takes care of your child? And the answer is: they become homeless. | 108 |
| John Frusciante | For me it's important to be in balance. To not let fear get in the way of things, to not worry so much about protecting yourself all the time. | 108 |
| Matthew Fox | I don't think that fundamentalism has anything to do with Jesus Christ. They call themselves Christians, but if that's Christian, count me out. Fundamentalism is built on fear and greed. They're telling you to give them your money otherwise you're going to hell. | 108 |
| Neil Strauss | Anyone who hates something feels threatened by it. A guy who says he hates feminism (a) doesn't understand or know feminism, and (b) is scared of powerful women. Most attacks come from fear. | 108 |
| Tom Hopkins | Do what you fear most and you control fear. | 108 |
| David Ben-Gurion | Courage is... the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought not to be feared. | 108 |
| Dustin Hoffman | One thing about being successful is that I stopped being afraid of dying. Once you're a star you're dead already. You're embalmed. | 108 |
| Shreya Ghoshal | An award means a lot to me. It brings happiness along with a kind of fear. It brings fear because the award is the responsibility which audiences have put on us. So a singer winning an award should always try to give best of him to the audiences. | 108 |
| Mahatma Gandhi | Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment. | 109 |
| Alan Watts | No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now. | 109 |
| Richard M. Nixon | People react to fear, not love; they don't teach that in Sunday School, but it's true. | 109 |
| Robert Mugabe | Our party must continue to strike fear in the heart of the white man, our real enemy! | 109 |
| Rosa Parks | I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear. | 109 |
| Saint Augustine | 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. | 109 |
| Virgil | Fear is proof of a degenerate mind. | 109 |
| James A. Baldwin | Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. | 109 |
| Ben Stein | My parents, products of the Great Depression, were successful people, but lived in a state of constant fear that my sister and I, and they, would sink into the kind of economic insecurity that their generation knew so well. | 109 |
| Britney Spears | I'm not at the point where I'd feel safe in a house alone. I would be really scared. I'm the kind of person that when I get up to go use the bathroom I have this big long hallway, and I just know someone's going to jump out and get me. | 109 |
| Emma Watson | I don't want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about. | 109 |
| Frank Herbert | I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain. | 109 |
| Horace Mann | To pity distress is but human; to relieve it is Godlike. | 109 |
| Hulk Hogan | I fear no man, no beast or evil, brother. | 109 |
| Kevin O'Leary | Business is war. I go out there, I want to kill the competitors. I want to make their lives miserable. I want to steal their market share. I want them to fear me and I want everyone on my team thinking we're going to win. | 109 |
| Leon Kass | There is a lot of hype and fear about this much-talked-about prospect of designer babies. | 109 |
| Milan Kundera | Mysticism and exaggeration go together. A mystic must not fear ridicule if he is to push all the way to the limits of humility or the limits of delight. | 109 |
| Mitt Romney | The Cuban people still live in constant fear of a brutal totalitarian regime that has demonstrated time and again its utter disregard for basic human dignity. The fight for a free Cuba has gone on for far too long. | 109 |
| Pat Paulsen | We have nothing to fear but fear itself... and, of course, the boogieman. | 109 |
| Queen Latifah | Fear can be good when you're walking past an alley at night or when you need to check the locks on your doors before you go to bed, but it's not good when you have a goal and you're fearful of obstacles. We often get trapped by our fears, but anyone who has had success has failed before. | 109 |
| Steve-O | Initially, my decision to stop eating meat was motivated by fear of spiritual consequences, but right away I found that not eating meat made me feel good about myself. It increased my self-esteem, which I found so rewarding, I wanted to do more. | 109 |
| Stevie Nicks | If you have stage fright, it never goes away. But then I wonder: is the key to that magical performance because of the fear? | 109 |
| Thomas Frank | The great fear that hung over the business community in the 1970s was death by regulation, and the great goal of the conservative movement, as it rose to triumph in the 1980s, was to remove that threat - to keep OSHA, the EPA, and the FTC from choking off entrepreneurship with their infernal meddling in the marketplace. | 109 |
| Tony McCoy | You need fear and doubt to drive you on. Without it, you end up living in the past and being happy with what you have achieved. | 109 |
| Akshay Kumar | There's absolutely nothing irrational about me; insane, yes, irrational, no. But my dumbest fear would be spinning in the magic tea cups. Who the hell wants to pay to spin around like a bent yoyo for laughs? | 109 |
| Bruce Barton | Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change - this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress. | 109 |
| Camille Pissarro | I sometimes have a horrible fear of turning up a canvas of mine. I'm always afraid of finding a monster in place of the precious jewels I thought I had put there! | 109 |
| Criss Angel | I think that the problem is that people fear so many things and they don't live life to its fullest. And for me as an artist, if God should want me to come this Wednesday to the end of my life, so be it. | 109 |
| Dario Argento | Fear has disappeared. No more fear. In Asia, it is different. They've discovered again the fear and the psychology of the characters. Without psychology, the horror film doesn't exist. | 109 |
| Moby | I think a lot of self-importance is a product of fear. And fear, living in sort of an un-self-examined fear-based life, tends to lead to narcissism and self-importance. | 109 |
| Andrew Luck | I have an irrational fear that something bad is going to happen to me when I'm drinking out of a water fountain. I have no idea why. | 109 |
| Lars von Trier | Only a fool does not fear actors, but you can't beat them, and if you can't beat them, join them, as they say. As I've got older I've become very interested in that part of the work. | 109 |
| Ray Comfort | When men don't fear God, they give themselves to evil. | 109 |
| Jose Bergamin | When there is nothing to fear is the time to begin fearing everything. | 109 |
| Steve Jobs | Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. | 110 |
| Bertrand Russell | Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom. | 110 |
| Napoleon Hill | Fears are nothing more than a state of mind. | 110 |
| D. H. Lawrence | The Christian fear of the pagan outlook has damaged the whole consciousness of man. | 110 |
| Jay-Z | Successful people have a bigger fear of failure than people who've never done anything because if you haven't been successful, then you don't know how it feels to lose it all. | 110 |
| Jiddu Krishnamurti | We do not know what love is. We know the symptoms of it, the pleasure, the pain, the fear, the anxiety and so on. We try to solve the symptoms, which becomes a wandering in darkness. We spend our days and nights in this, and it is soon over in death. | 110 |
| Anne Hutchinson | But now having seen him which is invisible I fear not what man can do unto me. | 110 |
| Bobby Bowden | He doesn't know the meaning of the word fear, but then again he doesn't know the meaning of most words. | 110 |
| Dan Rather | Covering the civil-rights movement was a mind- and eye-opener for me. Houston was a segregated society, as was Texas as a whole - some of it by law, a lot of it by fear and tradition. But there was no violence where I lived, and if there was hate, it was either concealed from me or I just didn't recognize it. | 110 |
| Debbie Ford | An exciting and inspiring future awaits you beyond the noise in your mind, beyond the guilt, doubt, fear, shame, insecurity and heaviness of the past you carry around. | 110 |
| Emile M. Cioran | We are afraid of the enormity of the possible. | 110 |
| Erica Jong | 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. | 110 |
| Evita Peron | My biggest fear in life is to be forgotten. | 110 |
| Francis Quarles | Let the fear of danger be a spur to prevent it; he that fears not, gives advantage to the danger. | 110 |
| Harry Browne | Libertarians know that a free country has nothing to fear from anyone coming in or going out - while a welfare state is scared to death of poor people coming in and rich people getting out. | 110 |
| Henry Van Dyke | 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. | 110 |
| LL Cool J | I think when you move past your fear and you go after your dreams wholeheartedly, you become free. | 110 |
| Madame de Stael | Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end. | 110 |
| Nadine Gordimer | A child understands fear, and the hurt and hate it brings. | 110 |
| Nicolas Cage | I think it's no secret that I've tried to take chances in my career and also in my life, and I believe to not live in fear. | 110 |
| Robert Falcon Scott | I fear we have shot our bolt - but we have been to Pole and done the longest journey on record. | 110 |
| Stendhal | All religions are founded on the fear of the many and the cleverness of the few. | 110 |
| Sting | I'm very much afraid of being mad - that's my one fear. | 110 |
| William E. Gladstone | Liberalism is trust of the people tempered by prudence. Conservatism is distrust of the people tempered by fear. | 110 |
| William Jennings Bryan | The way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and get a record of successful experiences behind you. | 110 |
| Baz Luhrmann | A life lived in fear is a life half lived. | 110 |
| Ellen Barkin | With all of the divisiveness that is going on in the country we live in, so much of it is based around just fear of the other. And anyone who does not look like me, walk like me, talk like me, have sex like me, they're the other and I'm afraid of them. And hopefully we will learn that it's just not scary. There's nothing to be afraid of. | 110 |
| Ernest Gaines | The mark of fear is not easily removed. | 110 |
| Joseph Prince | What you believe is very powerful. If you have toxic emotions of fear, guilt and depression, it is because you have wrong thinking, and you have wrong thinking because of wrong believing. | 110 |
| Martin O'Malley | God doesn't make mistakes and has made each of us in his own image. God is simply love. There should be no fear in love. | 110 |
| Mary Baker Eddy | Disease is an experience of a so-called mortal mind. It is fear made manifest on the body. | 110 |
| Matthew Gray Gubler | I get very little sleep. But I try to stay constantly busy. My fear is that if I stop working I'll, like, die. So throughout my life I've always tried to remain busy, and I sort of know no other way. I think if my heart rate slowed it would affect my constitution, strangely. I've been trained to do that. | 110 |
| John Cassavetes | My mother and father were never frightened of anything. They always felt that they should go through life happily and without fear, and they did that. And it was a great boon to my brother and myself. | 110 |
| Junior Seau | I'm afraid of being average. I have a real fear of being just another linebacker. | 110 |
| Marcus Aurelius | It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live. | 111 |
| Anais Nin | People living deeply have no fear of death. | 111 |
| Lucius Annaeus Seneca | The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity. | 111 |
| Thich Nhat Hanh | Most of us experience a life full of wonderful moments and difficult moments. But for many of us, even when we are most joyful, there is fear behind our joy. | 111 |
| Abraham Maslow | We fear to know the fearsome and unsavory aspects of ourselves, but we fear even more to know the godlike in ourselves. | 111 |
| Sophocles | To him who is in fear everything rustles. | 111 |
| Andrea Bocelli | A voice is very intimate. It's something of your own. So there's always this fear, because you feel naked. There's a fear of not reaching up to expectations. As you become more famous, people come and expect to hear something extraordinary, so you don't want to disappoint them. I feel this sense of responsibility. | 111 |
| Brad Henry | No one should have to choose between medicine and other necessities. No one should have to use the emergency room every time a child gets sick. And no one should have to live in constant fear that a medical problem will become a financial crisis. | 111 |
| Douglas Horton | Action cures fear, inaction creates terror. | 111 |
| Francois Rabelais | To good and true love fear is forever affixed. | 111 |
| Helen Mirren | There is that awful moment when you realize that you're falling in love. That should be the most joyful moment, and actually it's not. It's always a moment that's full of fear because you know, as night follows day, the joy is going to rapidly be followed by some pain or other. All the angst of a relationship. | 111 |
| Jackson Pollock | I have no fear of making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own. | 111 |
| Jason Statham | If someone's got a fear of heights, they'd probably say, well, hanging off a helicopter at 3,000 feet above downtown L.A. would be the scariest. For me, that's a day's work, something I was very happy to do. | 111 |
| Jesse Jackson | So here we are today with a new conversation. When University of Georgia plays Georgia Tech, it's uniform color versus skin color. We have - we've overcome that level of racial fear. | 111 |
| Jodie Foster | It's an interesting combination: Having a great fear of being alone, and having a desperate need for solitude and the solitary experience. That's always been a tug of war for me. | 111 |
| Louisa May Alcott | I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship. | 111 |
| Mel Brooks | Everything we do in life is based on fear, especially love. | 111 |
| Mignon McLaughlin | It's the most unhappy people who most fear change. | 111 |
| Patrick Henry | Fear is the passion of slaves. | 111 |
| Peter Benchley | It is not that I don't have a fear of sharks, it is that I have a respect for them, so that I know any more than if I were to go into the jungle, I would have a fear of tigers, that I would try to lower the odds. | 111 |
| Plutarch | Courage consists not in hazarding without fear; but being resolutely minded in a just cause. | 111 |
| Sharon Salzberg | In a single moment we can understand we are not just facing a knee pain, or our discouragement and our wishing the sitting would end, but that right in the moment of seeing that knee pain, we're able to explore the teachings of the Buddha. What does it mean to have a painful experience? What does it mean to hate it, and to fear it? | 111 |
| Sebastian Thrun | It's important to celebrate your failures as much as your successes. If you celebrate your failures really well, and if you get to the motto and say, 'Wow, I failed, I tried, I was wrong, I learned something,' then you realize you have no fear, and when your fear goes away, you can move the world. | 111 |
| Tom Brady | I don't want to wake up and be bored. That's probably my greatest fear is to have nothing to do. What better job is there than to play quarterback for an NFL team, and certainly one that I've been on for a long time and had success with? I don't plan on giving it up any time soon. | 111 |
| Warren Farrell | Boys with a 'failure to launch' are invisible to most girls. With poor social skills, the boys feel anger at their fear of being rejected and self-loathing at their inability to compete. | 111 |
| Cyril Connolly | The dread of lonliness is greater than the fear of bondage, so we get married. | 111 |
| Emile Zola | The fate of animals is of greater importance to me than the fear of appearing ridiculous; it is indissolubly connected with the fate of men. | 111 |
| Garry Shandling | I think it's one of the main negative emotional ingredients that fuels show business, because there's so much at stake and the fear of failure looms large. | 111 |
| James Cash Penney | A merchant who approaches business with the idea of serving the public well has nothing to fear from the competition. | 111 |
| John Henry Newman | Fear not that thy life shall come to an end, but rather that it shall never have a beginning. | 111 |
| Johnny Vegas | I came from a very loving home, had a happy life with no great aspirations, but going to the seminary changed me. There was a chunk of my childhood missing. Once I'd realised it wasn't for me, I still felt a tremendous pressure to continue for fear of letting everybody down. | 111 |
| Joseph Prince | It is the truth of grace and not of the law that brings you true freedom. The truth of the law only binds you. In fact, religious bondage is one of the most crippling bondages with which a person can be encumbered. Religious bondage keeps one in constant fear, guilt, and anxiety. | 111 |
| Terrence Howard | I've always had a natural fear of the police, or abuse of their power. | 111 |
| Bruce Lee | I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times. | 112 |
| Conor McGregor | Ritual is another word for fear, manifested in a different way. | 112 |
| Edward Snowden | Bathtub falls and police officers kill more Americans than terrorism, yet we've been asked to sacrifice our most sacred rights for fear of falling victim to it. | 112 |
| Frank Ocean | I don't fear anybody... at all. | 112 |
| Michael Jordan | Limits, like fear, is often an illusion. | 112 |
| Simone de Beauvoir | In itself, homosexuality is as limiting as heterosexuality: the ideal should be to be capable of loving a woman or a man; either, a human being, without feeling fear, restraint, or obligation. | 112 |
| Nicolaus Copernicus | Not a few other very eminent and scholarly men made the same request, urging that I should no longer through fear refuse to give out my work for the common benefit of students of Mathematics. | 112 |
| Andre Gide | There are very few monsters who warrant the fear we have of them. | 112 |
| Chanakya | He who is overly attached to his family members experiences fear and sorrow, for the root of all grief is attachment. Thus one should discard attachment to be happy. | 112 |
| Jane Goodall | From my perspective, I absolutely believe in a greater spiritual power, far greater than I am, from which I have derived strength in moments of sadness or fear. That's what I believe, and it was very, very strong in the forest. | 112 |
| John Adams | Fear is the foundation of most governments. | 112 |
| John Lydon | I've never told anyone this. But I suffer from terrible stage fright. True. You can't tell though, can you? Unbelievable, the panic. I nearly die of fear before I go on stage. Something wicked. I can't eat a thing the day before a gig. It'd make me vomit. | 112 |
| Otto von Bismarck | An appeal to fear never finds an echo in German hearts. | 112 |
| Alan Greenspan | Fear and euphoria are dominant forces, and fear is many multiples the size of euphoria. Bubbles go up very slowly as euphoria builds. Then fear hits, and it comes down very sharply. When I started to look at that, I was sort of intellectually shocked. Contagion is the critical phenomenon which causes the thing to fall apart. | 112 |
| Ayrton Senna | Fear is exciting for me. | 112 |
| Dorothy Day | Love casts out fear, but we have to get over the fear in order to get close enough to love them. | 112 |
| Elisabeth Kubler-Ross | Consciously or not, we are all on a quest for answers, trying to learn the lessons of life. We grapple with fear and guilt. We search for meaning, love, and power. We try to understand fear, loss, and time. We seek to discover who we are and how we can become truly happy. | 112 |
| Elizabeth I | Fear not, we are of the nature of the lion, and cannot descend to the destruction of mice and such small beasts. | 112 |
| Gordon B. Hinckley | I do not fear truth. I welcome it. But I wish all of my facts to be in their proper context. | 112 |
| Lewis Mumford | Without fullness of experience, length of days is nothing. When fullness of life has been achieved, shortness of days is nothing. That is perhaps why the young have usually so little fear of death; they live by intensities that the elderly have forgotten. | 112 |
| Nate Berkus | We hold back our true feelings and beliefs, whether it's from a sense of being polite or fear of hurting someone's feelings. But what I have seen on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' is that no one benefits from holding back and keeping things bottled up inside. So I pride myself on speaking my mind and not being afraid to give honest feedback. | 112 |
| Peter Benchley | We do not just fear our predators, we are transfixed by them. We are prone to weave stories and fables and chat endlessly about them. | 112 |
| Susan Cain | Most people who have grown up introverted in this very extroverted culture of ours have had painful experiences of feeling like they are out of step with what's expected of them. Parenting can pose unique challenges for introverted parents, who fear that their own painful experiences will be repeated in their children's lives. | 112 |
| T. E. Lawrence | It seemed that rebellion must have an unassailable base, something guarded not merely from attack, but from the fear of it: such a base as we had in the Red Sea Parts, the desert, or in the minds of the men we converted to our creed. | 112 |
| William Congreve | Fear comes from uncertainty. When we are absolutely certain, whether of our worth or worthlessness, we are almost impervious to fear. | 112 |
| Ron Fournier | Shock, confusion, fear, anger, grief, and defiance. On Sept. 11, 2001, and for the three days following the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil, President George W. Bush led with raw emotion that reflected the public's whipsawing stages of acceptance. | 112 |

| Clint Eastwood | Whether you like it or not, you're forced to come to the realisation that death is out there. But I don't fear death, I'm a fatalist. I believe when it's your time, that's it. It's the hand you're dealt. | 113 |
| Norman Vincent Peale | Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear.

| David Icke | The reason most people don't express their individuality and actually deny it, is not fear of what prime ministers think of us or the head of the federal reserve, It's what their families and their friends down at the bar are going to think of them. | 113 |
| John Lydon | My biggest fear is mindlessly and stupidly repeating myself. | 113 |

| Gary Zukav | This is how to avoid re-creating painful situations: Take the time to discover your real intention before you act. If it is to change someone or the world so that you will feel safe or better about yourself, don't act on it, because it is an intention of fear and can create only painful consequences. | 114 |

| Jack Nicklaus | I'd rather be two strokes ahead going into the last day than two strokes behind. Having said that, it's probably easier to win coming from behind. There is no fear in chasing. There is fear in being chased. | 115 |
| Lauryn Hill | I do support artists standing by their beliefs and walking with integrity. We have to find a better way to commercially exploit music while giving artists their proper respect.

| Saint Basil | What is the benefit of fasting in our body while filling our souls with innumerable evils? He who does not play at dice, but spends his leisure otherwise, what nonsense does he not utter? What absurdities does he not listen to? Leisure without the fear of God is, for those who do not know how to use time, the teacher of wickedness. | 117 |

| Saint Basil | Do not despise the fish because they are absolutely unable to speak or to reason, but fear lest you may be even more unreasonable than they by resisting the command of the Creator. Listen to the fish, who through their actions all but utter this word: 'We set out on this long journey for the perpetuation of our species.' | 118 |

| Jean de La Fontaine | The strongest passion is fear. | 119 |

| Sharon Stone | You know, sometimes I feel well and vital in the world, and sometimes I just feel so distressed I want to pull my hair out by the roots. | 124 |

| Andy Warhol | Since I was shot, everything is such a dream to me. Like I don't know whether I'm alive or whether I died. I wasn't afraid before. And having been dead once, I shouldn't feel fear. But I am afraid. I don't understand why. | 125 |
| Alfred Hitchcock | Luck is everything... My good luck in life was to be a really frightened person. I'm fortunate to be a coward, to have a low threshold of fear, because a hero couldn't make a good suspense film. | 125 |
| Joel Osteen | Faith activates God - Fear activates the Enemy. | 125 |
| Hugh Jackman | I was probably more scared of my high school exams than I was of the Oscars. At the time you think it's everything and if you don't do well, your life's over. Opportunities are gone. So the more you do it, the less the fear is present. | 125 |

| Scott Adams | I think 'Dilbert' will remain popular as long as employees are frustrated and they fear the consequences of complaining too loudly. 'Dilbert' is the designated voice of discontent for the workplace. I never planned it that way. It just happened. | 126 |
| Edgar Allan Poe | All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry. | 201 |

| Jim Morrison | The appeal of cinema lies in the fear of death. | 201 |
| Thich Nhat Hanh | With compassion you can die for other people, like the mother who can die for her child.

| Chanakya | As soon as the fear approaches near, attack and destroy it. | 201 |

| Umberto Eco | The thought that all experience will be lost at the moment of my death makes me feel pain and fear... What a waste, decades spent building up experience, only to throw it all away... We remedy this sadness by working. For example, by writing, painting, or building cities. | 203 |
| Khalil Gibran | Advance, and never halt, for advancing is perfection. Advance and do not fear the thorns in the path, for they draw only corrupt blood. | 204 |

| Thich Nhat Hanh | We fear that this moment will end, that we won't get what we need, that we will lose what we love, or that we will not be safe.

| Martha Beck | When fear makes your choices for you, no security measures on earth will keep the things you dread from finding you.
