Realists do not fear the results of their study.
I enjoy watching Fear Factor, Newlyweds and American Idol as far as reality TV shows go.
If the markets had behaved badly, that would obviously add to people's sense of alarm... but there has been a lot of reassurance coming, particularly in the way the Brits handled all this. There seems to be no great fear that something like that is going to happen here.
Americans are terrified because so many of them have been laid off in recent years and months and they fear that they may be next. Even if they have not been laid off or have not known anyone laid off, they definitely know someone who has lost his home.
My worst fear is to not able to understand what my director wants me to do. I might not be able to reciprocate to his idea or vision. I may not be able to perform before the camera. Those are my worst fears.
We've all had that fear, that despair of losing someone, or this fierce desire because it's not reciprocated. The less reciprocation there is, the more desire we have.
I think I have a big fear of things spiraling out of control. Out of control and dangerous and reckless and thoughtless scares me, because people get hurt.
Indeed, throughout much of history and in many cultures, redheads have been viewed with suspicion and fear - and even killed - because of their hair.
Courage is a mean with regard to fear and confidence.
Fear is stupid. So are regrets.
But Germany will always suffer, I fear, from the intensely dramatic character of the crimes of the Third Reich.
A cheerful frame of mind, reinforced by relaxation... is the medicine that puts all ghosts of fear on the run.
I could write an entertaining novel about rejection slips, but I fear it would be overly long.
We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.
When I speak of the fear, intimidation, arrests, and public shaming of intellectuals and religious leaders who dare to speak their minds, and then I tell you that I'm from Saudi Arabia, are you surprised?
I found that the things I am afraid of most are things for which there are no obvious remedies. Like, what do you do with a fear of death? You either come to terms with it or you don't, but there's no solving it.
I spend so much time in fear of going broke, and I never have been even remotely close to going broke.
By adversity are wrought the greatest works of admiration, and all the fair examples of renown, out of distress and misery are grown.
My biggest fear is mindlessly and stupidly repeating myself.
On the one hand Twitter gives you the opportunity to engage with people, which is great, but on the other there are people who feel they can say whatever they want, put poison out there, really, without fear of any repercussions.
