It is the strange fate of man, that even in the greatest of evils the fear of the worst continues to haunt him.

First and last, what is demanded of genius is love of truth.

Nature knows no pause in progress and development, and attaches her curse on all inaction.

Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest.

I never dared to be radical when young for fear it would make me conservative when old.

Fear stifles our thinking and actions. It creates indecisiveness that results in stagnation. I have known talented people who procrastinate indefinitely rather than risk failure. Lost opportunities cause erosion of confidence, and the downward spiral begins.

It is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear.

Fear is the foundation of most governments.
