Fear

It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.

He who fears death will never do anything worth of a man who is alive.

Ignorance is the cause of fear.

It is not that I am brave, but that I know what is not worth fearing.

We suffer more in imagination than in reality.

He suffers more than necessary, who suffers before it is necessary.

There are more things, Lucilius, likely to frighten us than there are to crush us; we suffer more often in imagination than in reality.

We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.

You act like mortals in all that you fear, and like immortals in all that you desire.
