Quote by Blaise Pascal

Fear not, provided you fear but if you fear not, then fear.

Fear not, provided you fear but if you fear not, then fear.

Summary

This quote suggests that fear is not inherently negative or detrimental. In fact, it can be beneficial as long as it is acknowledged and faced. It implies that it is crucial to confront one's fears rather than ignoring or suppressing them. By acknowledging and embracing fear, it becomes a motivator and helps us make informed decisions or take necessary precautions. However, if fear is completely disregarded and not heeded, it can lead to dangerous or reckless behavior. Therefore, the quote highlights the importance of striking a balance and responding to fear appropriately.
