I would sum up my fear about the future in one word: boring. And that's my one fear: that everything has happened nothing exciting or new or interesting is ever going to happen again... the future is just going to be a vast conforming suburb of the soul.
There is perhaps nothing so bad and so dangerous in life as fear.
I expect nothing. I fear no one. I am free.
I know not why there is such a melancholy feeling attached to the remembrance of past happiness except that we fear that the future can have nothing so bright as the past.
A peace that depends on fear is nothing but a suppressed war.
There is nothing strange about fear: no matter in what guise it presents itself it is something with which we are all so familiar that when a man appears who is without it we are at once enslaved by him.
This man is freed from servile bands Of hope to rise or fear to fall Lord of himself though not of lands And leaving nothing yet hath all.
I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.
When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty and there is nothing more to fear from them then he is always stirring up some war or other in order that the people may require a leader.
There is nothing I fear more than waking up without a program that will help me bring a little happiness to those with no resources those who are poor illiterate and ridden with terminal disease.
