About This Quote
Worry, envy, greed, and pride are the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Whenever these four horsemen are around, look out! They are scourging our world with their devastating effects. And yet, they are not the worst enemies that humankind ever has to face. The worst enemy of humankind is not the four horsemen mentioned above, but fear itself.
Fear can cause trouble among people who are living in harmony. It can even prevent us from looking ahead to see what’s coming up next. Fear can make us do things that don’t seem right to us, but might be the only way to keep ourselves alive.
