Quote by Richard Baxter

Dangers bring fears, and fears more dangers bring.

Dangers bring fears, and fears more dangers bring.

Summary

This quote suggests that when there are potential dangers or risks present, people naturally experience fear. However, the existence of fear itself can lead to even more dangers or hazards. This could be due to the fear hindering decision-making abilities, causing one to make impulsive or irrational choices that may increase the likelihood of further dangers. Hence, it implies that fear can contribute to a vicious cycle of escalating dangers.

Well, first let me say that I think health care reform is important. It has to be a priority. And our system is broken. The Finance Committee bill is the best effort yet, due in large measure to the efforts of my colleague, Olympia Snowe, but it's not there yet. It falls short.
