Quote by William Shakespeare

Present fears are less than horrible imaginings.

Present fears are less than horrible imaginings.

Summary

This quote suggests that the fears and worries we have in the present moment are often less tragic and distressing than the nightmarish scenarios we create in our minds. It emphasizes that our imagination can amplify and distort our fears, making them seem more terrifying than they actually are. By recognizing this, it encourages individuals to confront their fears in the present rather than letting their imagination paralyze them with exaggerated anxieties.
