I know that oft we tremble at an empty terror, but the false phantasm brings a real misery
The man who fears nothing is not less powerful than he who is feared by every one
From the moment fear begins I have ceased to fear
Fear is the proof of a degenerate mind
Everyone wishes that the man whom he fears would perish
In this world there is always danger for those who are afraid of it
No one loves the man whom he fears
Men are swayed more by fear than by reverence
Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil
It is the strange fate of man, that even in the greatest of evils the fear of the worst continues to haunt him
