Quote by Aeschylus

Excessive fear is always powerless.

Excessive fear is always powerless.

Summary

This quote suggests that when we allow fear to control us beyond a reasonable extent, it becomes weak and ineffective. It implies that an excessive amount of fear can paralyze us from taking action or making rational decisions. By succumbing to overpowering fear, we become vulnerable and hindered in our ability to confront and overcome challenges. Instead, it encourages us to find the balance between being cautious and assertive, recognizing that irrational and exaggerated fear ultimately renders us powerless in navigating life's obstacles.
