Fear is the instructor of great sagacity, and the herald of all revolutions
Do the thing you fear, and the death of fear is certain
If you wish to fear nothing, consider that everything is to be feared
The fearful face usually betrays great guilt
We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality
A person's fears are lighter when the danger is at hand
The best way out is always through.

A Servant to Servants, 1914
There's nothing I'm afraid of like scared people.
