Worry is a cycle of inefficient thoughts whirling around a center of fear.

Perhaps life is just that... a dream and a fear.

I really believe that all of us have a lot of darkness in our souls. Anger, rage, fear, sadness. I don't think that's only reserved for people who have horrible upbringings. I think it really exists and is part of the human condition. I think in the course of your life you figure out ways to deal with that.

Liberalism is trust of the people tempered by prudence. Conservatism is distrust of the people tempered by fear.

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.

Everything we do in life is based on fear, especially love.

I have a lack of fear, whereas in the past the fear of failure was a powerful motivator. Anyway, I have great expectations for the future, but I just don't know if I'm the monarch of all I survey.

Fear not, the people may be deluded for a moment, but cannot be corrupted.

The results of political changes are hardly ever those which their friends hope or their foes fear.

I do not say think as I think, but think in my way. Fear no shadows, least of all in that great spectre of personal unhappiness which binds half the world to orthodoxy.
