Letter "F" » Fear
«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.»
«Fear is excitement without breath.»
«Fear is a slinking cat I find beneath the lilacs of my mind.»
«Fear is proof of a degenerate mind.»
«Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.»
«Fear is not a lasting teacher of duty.»
«Fear is sharp-sighted and can see things under ground and much more in the skies.»
«Fear is implanted in us as a preservative from evil; but its duty, like that of other passions, is not to overbear reason, but to assist it. It should not be suffered to tyrannize»

«Fear is implanted in us as a preservative from evil but its duty, like that of other passions, is not to overbear reason, but to assist it. It should not be suffered to tyrannize in the imagination, to raise phantoms of horror, or to beset life with supernumerary distresses.»
