XXVII, v. 1) I know a lot of men who are healthier at age fifty than they have ever been before, because a lot of their fear is gone. - Robert Bly Good men have the fewest fears.

Half our fears are baseless, the other half discreditable. - Christian Nestell Bovee Fear never was a friend to the love of God or man, to duty or conscience, truth, probity, or honor.
