You've got to kick fear to the side because the payoff is huge.

Part of the reason that the government's fear mongering is succeeding is because so many people are so ignorant that it is easier for government to frighten people in submission.

You don't want too much fear in a market because people will be blinded to some very good buying opportunities. You don't want too much complacency because people will be blinded to some risk.

We've all had that fear that despair of losing someone or this fierce desire because it's not reciprocated. The less reciprocation there is the more desire we have.

Let children read whatever they want and then talk about it with them. If parents and kids can talk together we won't have as much censorship because we won't have as much fear.

I have a fear of poverty in old age. I have this vision of myself living in a skip and eating cat food. It's because I'm freelance and I've never had a proper job. I don't have a pension and my savings are dwindling. I always thought someone would just come along and look after me.

Another parent's different approach raises the possibility that you've made a mistake with your child. We simply can't tolerate that because we fear that any mistake no matter how minor could have devastating consequences. So we proclaim the superiority of our own choices. We've lost sight of the fact that people have preferences.
