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.

We have here a human as well as an economic problem. When humane considerations are concerned, Americans give them precedence. The lessons of history, confirmed by the evidence immediately before me, show conclusively that continued dependence upon relief induces a spiritual and moral disintegration fundamentally destructive to the national fibre. To dole out relief in this way is to administer a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit.
