"The first and great commandment is: Don't let them scare you."	Elmer Holmes Davis
"It was all right to talk about it. They made plans. They had a moment's vision, a fleeting dream. But in the end, some lack in their moral fiber, some gnawing, nibbling fear held them back. They never started. They stayed where they were. They dropped back. They failed somehow to release within themselves that power which lies in every individual, and is released only when he starts forward in a straight line for the object about which he has dreamed. The man who never starts, never feels that sense of power."	Ray Dickinson
"Fear makes us feel our humanity."	Benjamin "Dizzy" Disraeli
"Our fear of death is like our fear that summer will be short, but when we have had our swing of pleasure, our fill of fruit, and our swelter of heat, we say we have had our day."	John Donne
"Character isn't inherited. One builds it daily by the way one thinks and acts, thought by thought, action by action. If one lets fear or hate or anger take possession of the mind, they become self-forged chains."	Helen Gahagan Douglas
"If a man harbors any sort of fear, it ... makes him landlord to a ghost."	Lloyd Douglas
"Death in itself is nothing; but we fear To be we know not what, we know not where."	John Dryden
"The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art…. If you try to run away from it, if you are scared to go to the brink, you are lost."	John Foster Dulles
"The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than with their minds."	William James "Will" Durant
"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 not."	Henry Van Dyke
"Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not, knows no release from little things; Knows not the livid loneliness of fear."	Amelia Earhart
"There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever."	Thomas Alva Edison
"Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness."	Max Ehrmann
"Any power must be an enemy of mankind which enslaves the individual by terror and force, whether it arises under the Fascist or the Communist flag. All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded to the individual."	Albert Einstein
"Since I do not foresee that atomic energy is to be a great boon for a long time, I have to say that for the present it is a menace. Perhaps it is well that it should be. It may intimidate the human race into bringing order into its international affairs, which, without the pressure of fear, it would not do."	Albert Einstein
"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."	Albert Einstein
"The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead."	Albert Einstein
"The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge."	Albert Einstein
"If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed."	Albert Einstein
"There is no feeling, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in music."	George Eliot
