"I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me. I have accepted fear as a part of life--specifically the fear of change, the fear of the unknown; and I have gone ahead despite the pounding in my heart that says: turn back, turn back, you'll die if you venture too far."	Erica Mann Jong
"The law demands good works and uses its terror--rejection, shame, fear of punishment, unanswered prayer, personal tragedy, etc.--as motivation. Here performance is a necessity to secure the blessings and avoid the curses. Grace, on the other hand, allows us to serve on a different basis--not from fear but on the basis of love and gratitude, from appreciation and gladness for blessings freely given and freely received."	Richard Jordan
"Don't be afraid to fail. Don't waste energy trying to cover up failure. Learn from your failures and go on to the next challenge. It's OK to fail. If you're not failing, you're not growing."	H. Stanley Judd
"Security is mostly superstition. It does not exist in nature … Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold."	Helen Adams Keller
"Unconditional war can no longer lead to unconditional victory. It can no longer serve to settle disputes. It can no longer be of concern to great powers alone. For a nuclear disaster, spread by winds and waters and fear, could well engulf the great and the small, the rich and the poor, the committed and the uncommitted alike. Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind."	John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people."	John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate."	John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"I look forward to an America which will not be afraid of grace and beauty."	John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"The future does not belong to those who are content with today, apathetic toward common problems and their fellow man alike, timid and fearful in the face of bold projects and new ideas. Rather, it will belong to those who can blend passion, reason and courage in a personal commitment to the ideals of American society."	Robert Francis Kennedy
"There is nothing with which every man is so afraid as getting to know how enormously much he is capable of doing and becoming."	Søren Aaby Kierkegaard
"Where fear is present, wisdom cannot be."	Lactantius
"We have to realize that we are as deeply afraid to live and to love as we are to die."	Ronald David Laing
"Seek not happiness too greedily, and be not fearful of unhappiness."	Lao-Tzu
"Pride attaches undue importance to the superiority of one's status in the eyes of others; And shame is fear of humiliation at one's inferior status in the estimation of others. When one sets his heart on being highly esteemed, and achieves such rating, then he is automatically involved in fear of losing his status."	Lao-Tzu
"An optimist thinks this is the best of all worlds. A pessimist fears the same may be true."	Doug Larson
"Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing."	Harper Lee
"With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die."	Abraham Lincoln
"We fear things in proportion to our ignorance of them."	Titus Livius
"I believe half the unhappiness in life comes from people being afraid to go straight at things."	William J. Locke
"Don't be afraid of opposition. Remember, a kite rises against; not with; the wind."	Hamilton Mabie
