Fear Quotes

They say the fear of death is worse than the death itself, but how would you know which is worse? For to find out if the fear of death is worse than death itself, you will first have to die, which makes it potentially impossible for a person to know which amongst the two, fear of death or death itself, is worst. When a person experiences fear or is afraid of something, there really is nothing too strange about it. Believe it or not, a certain amount of fear of anything is good for you; it’s what can keep you going. However, to be engulfed by fear in everything that you do is surely not a good thing. Read on to fish out more than just famous quotations and sayings on fear and panic.
