Fear Quotes

It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live. ~ Marcus Aurelius

A chicken doesn’t stop scratching just because worms are scarce. ~ Grandma Axiom

Terror is as much a part of the concept of truth as runniness is of the concept of jam. We wouldn’t like jam if it didn’t, by its very nature, ooze. We wouldn’t like truth if it wasn’t sticky, if, from time to time, it didn’t ooze blood. ~ Jean Baudrillard

Fear secretes acids; but love and trust are sweet juices. ~ Henry Ward Beecher

Fear is met and destroyed with courage. ~ James F. Bell

Anything I’ve ever done that ultimately was worthwhile… initially scared me to death. ~ Betty Bender

Panic is a sudden desertion of us, and a going over to the enemy of our imagination. ~ Christian Nevell Bovee

When you face your fear, most of the time you will discover that it was not really such a big threat after all. We all need some form of deeply rooted, powerful motivation — it empowers us to overcome obstacles so we can live our dreams. ~ Les Brown

The fear of being wrong is the prime inhibitor of the creative process. ~ Jean Bryant

Fear QuotesWhen one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear. ~ Buddha

Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it… that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear. ~ Dale Carnegie

Fear has many eyes and can see things underground. ~ Miguel De Cervantes

We often pretend to fear what we really despise, and more often despise what we really fear. ~ Charles Caleb Colton

Fear can be conquered. I became a better person and a better football player when I learned that lesson. ~ Roger Craig

A fighter has to know fear. ~ Cus D’Amato

It all changed when I realized I’m not the only one on the planet who’s scared. Everyone else is, too. I started asking people, “Are you scared, too?” “You bet your sweet life I am.” “Aha, so that’s the way it is for you, too.” We were all in the same boat. That’s probably what is so effective at our workshops. When I ask, “Who else feels like this?” the whole room of hands goes up. People realize they are not the only one who feels that way. ~ Stan Dale

The first and great commandment is, “Don’t let them scare you.” ~ Elmer Davis

Fear is the biggest motivator. ~ Bill Dixon
