A Quote by Richard Baxter

Dangers breed fears, and fears more dangers bring. — © Richard Baxter
Dangers breed fears, and fears more dangers bring.
Dangers bring fears, and fears more dangers bring.
"So, why do I have so much fear in my life?" "Because you don't believe. You don't know that we love you. The person who lives by his fears will not find freedom in my love. I am not talking about rational fears regarding legitimate dangers, but imagined fears, and especially the projection of those into the future. To the degree that those fears have a place in your life, you neither believe that I am good not know deep in your heart that I love you. You sing about it, you talk about it, but you don't know it."
He who fears dangers will not perish by them.
We often suffer more from our fears, than from the dangers of our situation.
Our fears are always more numerous than our dangers.
It is the fool who is haunted by fears, dread of dangers, oppression of mind, not the wise man.
Courage enlarges, cowardice diminishes resources. In desperate straits the fears of the timid aggravate the dangers that imperil the brave.
We cannot banish dangers, but we can banish fears. We must not demean life by standing in awe of death.
But God fears women even more that He fears the devil- and is right to. She, with her power to bring life into the world, was truly made in the image of the Creator, not man.
May we not suspect that the vague but very real fears of children, which are quite independent of experience, are the inherited effects of real dangers and abject superstitions during ancient savage times?
The vested interests-if we explain the situation by their influence-can only get the public to act as they wish by manipulating public opinion, by playing either upon the public's indifference, confusions, prejudices, pugnacities or fears. And the only way in which the power of the interests can be undermined and their maneuvers defeated is by bringing home to the public the danger of its indifference, the absurdity of its prejudices, or the hollowness of its fears; by showing that it is indifferent to danger where real danger exists; frightened by dangers which are nonexistent.
There are two kinds of fears: rational and irrational- or in simpler terms, fears that make sense and fears that don't.
Life is always full of dangers and I don't think one should avoid dangers.
There are dangers, but only dangers if people don't understand where technology is taking us.
The importance of strengthening Euro-Atlantic security: the growing dangers pile pressure on our rules-based international system, so we need to do more to strengthen NATO, the bedrock of our defense - not just upping spending, but making the alliance more agile and more capable of tackling dangers from all directions.
Constant exposure to dangers will breed contempt for them.
