Quote by Francis Quarles

Fear nothing but what thy industry may prevent be confident of nothing but what fortune cannot defeat it is no less folly to fear what is impossible to be avoided than to be secure when there is a possibility to be deprived.

Fear nothing but what thy industry may prevent be confident

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of being diligent and proactive in order to avoid unnecessary fear. It suggests that we should only fear things that our efforts cannot prevent and put our confidence in things that are not subject to the whims of luck or fortune. It also warns against the folly of fearing the inevitable or uncontrollable, as well as being overconfident in situations where there is still a possibility of being deprived or affected. Ultimately, it encourages a balanced and rational approach to facing fears and building confidence.
