Fear

There is nothing with which every man is so afraid as getting to know how enormously much he is capable of doing and becoming

Irony is a disciplinarian feared only by those who do not know it, but cherished by those who do

To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself

He ne'er is crowned with immortality who fears to follow where airy voices lead.

I cannot stop thinking that I died before I was born and that at my death I will return to the same state

The dread of evil is a much more forcible principle of human actions than the prospect of good

There is no object that we see, no action that we do, no good that we enjoy, no evil that we feel of fear, but we may make some spiritual advantage of all

Some people are so fond of ill luck that they run halfway to meet it.
