Fear Quotes
People tend to fear what they do not know, and what they fear they dislike.
Dolly Parton
I can't make you understand because you don't know the meaning of fear. You have the heart of a lion and an utter lack of imagination and I envy you both of those qualities. You'll never mind facing realities and you'll never want to escape from them as I do.
Margaret Mitchell
I don't want fear or cancer to define me, but it's always in the back of your mind.
Ethan Zohn
It's fear of the unknown. The unknown is what it is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all that-it's all illusion. Unknown is what it is. Accept that it's unknown and it's plain sailing. Everything is unknown-then you're ahead of the game. That's what it is. Right?
John Lennon
The Beatles
What is prayer but meditation? What is a demon but a fear that lives inside us, one we cannot easily conquer on our own?
John Searles
I always try to push through fear. I won't be crippled by it. People say, "Oh you take such risks", or "You're brave." And I'm like, 'Well, if you knew - inside I'm really frightened!' But the way people navigate fear and pain is fascinating... The more you feel, the stronger the pain. And the more you engage in life, the more you have to lose.
Nicole Kidman
By ignoring my fear, I learned that the fear was groundless. Over the years, I have met people who took what seemed the safer path and were the lesser for it...I had taken a risk, and that risk yielded that greatest reward...Always take a chance on better, even if it seems threatening.
Edwin Catmull
From the passions arise worry, and from worry arises fear. Away with the passions, and no fear, no worry.
Gautama Buddha
Nervous means you want to play. Scared means you don't want to play.
Sherman Alexie
Child, it's a very bad thing for a woman to face the worst that can happen to her, because after she's faced the worst she can't ever really fear anything again. ...Scarlett, always save something to fear – even as you save something to love.
Margaret Mitchell
Always remember... When you do what you fear most, then you can do anything.
Ziad K. Abdelnour
Has fear ever held a man back from anything he really wanted?
George Bernard Shaw
