Quote by Dorothy Thompson

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that true living can only commence once we overcome fear. It implies that fear acts as a barrier that restricts us from fully experiencing life and all of its possibilities. When we shed our fears, we become liberated and more open to taking risks, pursuing our passions, and embracing new adventures. By confronting and conquering our fears, we can truly start living a life that is authentic, fulfilling, and abundant.

The great object of my fear is the federal judiciary. That body, like gravity, ever acting, with noiseless foot, and unalarming advance, gaining ground step by step, and holding what it gains, is ingulfing insidiously the special governments into the jaws of that which feeds them.
