Fear is a poor guarantor of a long life.

The basis of optimism is sheer terror.

Suffering has its limit, but fears are endless.

Who lives in fear will never be a free man.

Fear is the foundation of most governments. 

Worry over what has not occurred is a serious malady.

The man in constant fear is every day condemned.

An ugly sight, a man who’s afraid. 

People react to fear, not love—they don’t teach that in Sunday school, but it’s true.

Fear has a smell, as love does.

Dread attends the unknown.

People living deeply have no fear of death.

Nothing is more despicable than respect based on fear.
