View quotes by Samuel Daniel
Who fears not to do ill fears the name,
And free from conscience, is a slave to fame.
View quotes by Sir John Denham
I don't know. People always think that there has got to be a dark side to everyone, a closet with skeletons, demons under the bed. People think all kinds of things about one another. They feel compelled to make up fears and false assumptions about their closest friends. Truth is, I'll never know all there is to know about you just as you will never know all there is to know about me. Humans are by nature too complicated to be understood fully. So, we can choose either to approach our fellow human beings with suspicion or to approach them with an open mind, a dash of optimism and a great deal of candour.

It's a part like any other except it's shorter than a lot. [on his role in The Sum of All Fears]
View quotes by Alan Bates
The only way to get rid of my fears is to make films about them.
View quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
I think we have to own the fears that we have of each other, and then, in some practical way, some daily way, figure out how to see people differently than the way we were brought up to.
View quotes by Alice Walker
For in the end, freedom is a personal and lonely battle; and one faces down fears of today so that those of tomorrow might be engaged.
View quotes by Alice Walker
Let the fear of a danger be a spur to prevent it; he that fears not, gives advantage to the danger.
