“Fear was the worst evil ever to plague a man, for with it came hesitation and with that, inaction, failure, death.”
“The classical man's worst fear was inglorious death; the modern man's worst fear is just death”
“Live Free or Die; Death is Not the Worst of Evils.”
“Death is not the worst evil, but rather when we wish to die and cannot.”
“No arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear and danger of violent death; and the life of man solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.”
“False fears are a plague, a modern plague!”
