Summary

This quote suggests that we often allow fear to control us.

It highlights how fear can limit us, discouraging us from taking risks or pursuing new opportunities. By acknowledging this tendency, we can strive to confront our fears and prevent them from overwhelming our thoughts, enabling us to live fuller and more satisfying lives.

He learned by sight, scent, and hearing. He heard all that was said, and talked over and over the questions heard; wore them slick, greasy, and threadbare.

He preached, made speeches, read for us, explained to us, etc.(remarks attributed to Abraham Lincoln's cousin, Dennis Hanks)
