Patrick HenryFear is the passion of slaves.
About This Quote
Fear is the passion of slaves. It is not that fear is bad, but that putting it to use in the wrong way can lead to slavery. Fear can be used to motivate us to do things that are right. It can be used to warn others of danger.
And, most importantly, it can be used to keep us from making mistakes that we might regret later. If we use fear as a tool of motivation or as a means of defense, we’re taking control and using it as a weapon against those who would hurt us. But, if we use fear as a tool of intimidation, we’re taking away their power and making them our slaves.
