Quote by Christian Nevell Bovee

Good men have the fewest fears. He has but one great fear who fears to do wrong; he has a thousand who has overcome it.

Good men have the fewest fears. He has but one great fear wh

Summary

This quote suggests that good men, those who are morally upright, have fewer fears compared to individuals who have not yet triumphed over the fear of doing wrong. Having only one fear indicates a strong commitment to avoiding wrongdoing and living an ethical life. On the other hand, individuals who have managed to overcome this fear have likely encountered multiple temptations or opportunities to engage in immoral actions, resulting in a multitude of fears. The quote promotes the idea that conquering the fear of doing wrong not only reduces fears but also strengthens one's character and moral compass.
