Socrates Quotes about Fear

  • To fear death is nothing other than to think oneself wise when one is not. For it is to think one knows what one does not know. No one knows whether death may not even turn out to be the greatest blessings of human beings. And yet people fear it as if they knew for certain it is the greatest evil.
  • I shall never fear or avoid things of which I do not know.
  • Fear of women love more than hate the man.
