Hope and fear are inseparable. There is no hope without fear, nor any fear without hope. François de la Rochefoucauld quotes Where there is reverence there is fear, but there is not reverence everywhere that there is fear, because fear presumably has a wider extension than reverence. Socrates quotes Fear makes us feel our humanity. Benjamin Disraeli quotes There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear (John 4:18). The Bible quotes 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 quotes The principle office of history I take to be this: to prevent virtuous actions from being forgotten, and that evil words and deeds should fear an infamous reputation with posterity. Publius Cornelius Tacitus quotes Fear comes from uncertainty. When we are absolutely certain, whether of our worth or worthlessness, we are almost impervious to fear. William Congreve quotes Where fear is present, wisdom cannot be. Lactantius quotes When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest. Henry David Thoreau quotes Heroism is the brilliant triumph of the soul over the flesh, that is to say over fear: fear of poverty, of suffering, of calumny, of illness, of loneliness and of death. There is no real piety without heroism. Heroism is the dazzling and glorious concentration of courage. Henri Frédéric Amiel quotes |
