Francis Quarles Fear Quotations

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

Temper your enjoyments with prudence, lest there be written on your heart that fearful word 'satiety.'

Let the fear of a danger be a spur to prevent it; he that fears not gives advantage to the danger; it is less folly not to endeavor the prevention of the evil thou fearest than to fear the evil which thy endeavor cannot prevent.

They who cannot be induced to fear for love will never be enforced to love for fear. Love opens the heart, fear shuts it; that encourages, this compels; and victory meets encouragement, but flees compulsion.

A lamb appears a lion, and we fear Each bush we see's a bear.
