“Let the fear of danger be a spur to prevent it; he that fears not, gives advantage to the danger.”

“Let us never fear robbers nor murderers. Those are dangers from without, petty dangers. Let us fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers; vices are the real murderers. The great dangers lie within ourselves.”

“That evening, before he went to bed, he said again: "Let us never fear robbers nor murderers. Those are dangers from without, petty dangers. Let us fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers; vices are the real murderers. The great dangers lie within ourselves. What matters it what threatens our head or our purse! Let us think only of that which threatens our soul.”

“Fear is danger to your body, but disgust is danger to your soul.”

“Though not fearful of measurable dangers, she feared the unknown.”

“...remember that the danger that is most to be feared is never the danger we are most afraid of.”
