Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.

There is no avoiding war; it can only be postponed to the advantage of others.

The topic of leadership is a touchy one. A lot of leaders fail because they don’t have the bravery to touch that nerve or strike that chord. Throughout my years, I haven’t had that fear.

If we are marked to die, we are enough to do our country loss; and if to live, the fewer men, the greater share of honor.

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.

Black people comprehend the South. We understand its weight. It has rested on our backs… I knew that my heart would break if ever I put my foot down on that soil, moist, still, with old hurts. I had to face the fear/loathing at its source or it would consume me whole.

The future doesn’t belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave.

I’m sure the feeling of fear, as long as you can take advantage of it and not be rendered useless by it, can make you extend yourself beyond what you would regard as your capacity. If you’re afraid, the blood seems to flow freely through the veins, and you really do feel a sense of stimulation.

A man of courage is also full of faith.

How few there are who have courage enough to own their faults, or resolution enough to mend them.

It is much more secure to be feared than to be loved.

If God is just, I tremble for my country.

Great tragedy has come to us, and we are meeting it with the best that is in our country, with courage and concern for others because this is America. This is who we are.

People are terrified of me, and I want them to be.

It is really very important while you are young to live in an environment in which there is no fear. Most of us, as we grow older, become frightened; we are afraid of living, afraid of losing a job, afraid of tradition, afraid of what the neighbours, or what the wife or husband would say, afraid of death.

Paranoia is just another word for ignorance.

No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.

Just as courage is the danger of life, so is fear its safeguard.

The doctrine that everything is fine as long as the population is quiet, that applies in the Middle East, applies in Central America, it applies in the United States.

Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.

Courage is a kind of salvation.

The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there’s no risk of accident for someone who’s dead.

It is not death or pain that is to be dreaded, but the fear of pain or death.

I don’t know how to function without music. When I’m not making it, I’m listening to it. It gives me courage and takes care of my mind.

I’m not afraid to die, I just don’t want to be there when it happens.

Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall.

It’s a near miracle that nuclear war has so far been avoided.

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

Fear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear.

As soon as the fear approaches near, attack and destroy it.

The world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It’s the age-old struggle: the roar of the crowd on the one side, and the voice of your conscience on the other.

People are finding it harder and harder to relate to foreign policy.

The only thing I’m afraid of is bees. I don’t like bees. I’m allergic to them.

Do the thing we fear, and death of fear is certain.

Logically, harmony must come from the heart… Harmony very much based on trust. As soon as use force, creates fear. Fear and trust cannot go together.

At the start of the season, there are 16 teams in the top division looking behind them, making sure they avoid relegation. The fear starts in the boardroom, comes down to managers and through to players. The fans sense it.

A lot of people are afraid to tell the truth, to say no. That’s where toughness comes into play. Toughness is not being a bully. It’s having backbone.

I’ve known and continue to know every one of these major world leaders by their first names, and I have access to them.

Most damage that others do us is out of fear, humiliation and pain. Those feelings occur in all of us, not just in those of us who profess a certain religious or racial devotion.

I wouldn’t say I have a lack of fear. In fact, I’d like my fear emotion to be less because it’s very distracting and fries my nervous system.

It requires more courage to suffer than to die.

When you combine boring with fear, you have fun.

I was scared many times on Everest, but this is all part of the challenge. When I fell down a crevasse, it was pretty scary.

I don’t want to wake up and be bored. That’s probably my greatest fear is to have nothing to do. What better job is there than to play quarterback for an NFL team, and certainly one that I’ve been on for a long time and had success with? I don’t plan on giving it up any time soon.

Dread, which is closely related to fear, steals the ability to enjoy ordinary life and makes people anxious about the future. It keeps them from looking forward to the next day, the next month, or the next decade.

The U.S. – the idea that the U.S. has introduced and imposed principles of international law, that’s hardly even a joke. The United States has even gone so far as to veto Security Council resolutions calling on all states to observe international law. That was in the 1980s under Reagan.

The generality of men are naturally apt to be swayed by fear rather than reverence, and to refrain from evil rather because of the punishment that it brings than because of its own foulness.

My constant prayer, my number one foreign goal, is to bring peace to Israel. And in the process to Israel’s neighbours.

We fear that this moment will end, that we won’t get what we need, that we will lose what we love, or that we will not be safe. Often, our biggest fear is the knowledge that one day our bodies will cease functioning. So even when we are surrounded by all the conditions for happiness, our joy is not complete.

Things done well and with a care, exempt themselves from fear.

I continue to care for President Obama and for his family. I think that in many ways they are very courageous people, and I honor that, because I know what it means to live as a black person in a racist America.

The United States supports a strong, united Ukraine with productive and peaceful relationships with both the East and the West, with both Russia and Europe.

Death obsesses me, yes it does. I can’t really understand why it doesn’t obsess everyone – I think it does really, I’m just a little more out about it.

Saddam’s goal is to achieve the lifting of U.N. sanctions while retaining and enhancing Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction programs. We cannot, we must not and we will not let him succeed.

Puritanism. The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.

Let us all be brave enough to die the death of a martyr, but let no one lust for martyrdom.

A fundamentalist can’t bring himself or herself to negotiate with people who disagree with them because the negotiating process itself is an indication of implied equality.

I was a very shy character, always feeling uncomfortable because everybody was stronger than I, and always afraid I would look like a sissy. Everybody else played baseball; everybody else did all kinds of athletic things.

Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.

Let us move from the era of confrontation to the era of negotiation.

We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.
