Only
in time of fear is government thrown back to its primitive and sole function of
self-defense and the many interests of which it is the guardian become subordinate
to that. -- Jane Addams
Better
beans and bacon in peace than cakes and ale in fear -- Aesop
Fear
is a natural and important response for survival. But fear can also become a harmful
emotion when it causes us to act irrationally. When we allow fear to control our
lives, we see things differently, we're more cautious and more timid, or we overreact
to situations in ways that can be harmful to ourselves and others. -- Robert Alan Silverstein
The
world is a dangerous place. But if we chose not
to let fear control our lives, and instead stood
up and worked together to change the way things
are, this would be a much better world for everyone.
-- Robert Alan Silverstein
"There
is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children. There is no
duty more important than ensuring that their rights are respected, that their
welfare is protected, that their lives are free from fear and want and that they
can grow up in peace." -- Kofi
Annan
"...women
themselves have the right to live in dignity, in freedom from want and freedom
from fear." -- Kofi
Annan
"No
passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning
as fear." -- Edmund Burke
Aim
for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then
you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life.
Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and
allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make yourself a happier
and more productive person. -- Dr. David M. Burns
Nuclear weapons
play on our deepest fears and pander to our darkest instincts. They corrode our
sense of humanity, numb our capacity for moral outrage, and make thinkable the
unimaginable. They prey on democracies and totalitarian societies alike, shrinking
the norms of civilized behavior and dimming the prospects for escaping the savagery
so powerfully imprinted on our genetic code. -- General
Lee Butler, head of US Strategic Nuclear Forces 1991-1994
“Do
the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it... that is the quickest and surest
way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.” -- Dale Carnegie
"I thought
it was a good time to have those debates again about government using fear to
erode away civil liberties, which happens every 30 to 40 years" -- George
Clooney
In order to succeed, your
desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure. -- Bill
Cosby
We
discovered that peace at any price is no peace at all. We discovered that life
at any price has no value whatever; that life is nothing without the privileges,
the prides, the rights, the joys which make it worth living, and also worth giving.
And we also discovered that there is something more hideous, more atrocious than
war or than death; and that is to live in fear. -- Eve Curie, French
author
Think first of the
action that is right to take, think later about coping with one's fears.
-- Barbara Deming

"Peace
does not fare well where poverty and deprivation reign.
It does not flourish where there is ignorance and
a lack of education and information. Repression, injustice
and exploitation are inimical with peace. Peace is
gravely threatened by inter-group fear and envy and
by the unleashing of unrealistic expectations. Racial,
class and religious intolerance and prejudice are
its mortal enemies."
-- Frederik
W. de Klerk
“While
we diminish the stimulant of fear, we must increase to prisoners the incitements
of hope, in proportion as we extinguish the terrors of the law, we should awaken
and strengthen the control of the conscience.” -- Dorothea
Dix
