Roosevelt's declaration that Americans had 'nothing to fear but fear itself' was a glorious piece of inspirational rhetoric and just as gloriously wrong.

I would sum up my fear about the future in one word: boring. And that's my one fear: that everything has happened nothing exciting or new or interesting is ever going to happen again... the future is just going to be a vast conforming suburb of the soul.

There is perhaps nothing so bad and so dangerous in life as fear.

I expect nothing. I fear no one. I am free.

I know not why there is such a melancholy feeling attached to the remembrance of past happiness except that we fear that the future can have nothing so bright as the past.

A peace that depends on fear is nothing but a suppressed war.

There is nothing strange about fear: no matter in what guise it presents itself it is something with which we are all so familiar that when a man appears who is without it we are at once enslaved by him.

This man is freed from servile bands Of hope to rise or fear to fall Lord of himself though not of lands And leaving nothing yet hath all.

I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.

When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty and there is nothing more to fear from them then he is always stirring up some war or other in order that the people may require a leader.

There is nothing I fear more than waking up without a program that will help me bring a little happiness to those with no resources those who are poor illiterate and ridden with terminal disease.

When even one American - who has done nothing wrong - is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth - then all Americans are in peril.

Nothing is more despicable than respect based on fear.

Nothing in life is to be feared it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more so that we may fear less.

If you look into your own heart and you find nothing wrong there what is there to worry about? What is there to fear?

There is nothing that fear and hope does not permit men to do.

People are famous for being famous and for nothing else. And good luck to them because it lasts about a year and then they're nothing again.

It wasn't not being famous any more or even not being a recording artist. It was having nobody who needed me no phones ringing nothing to do. Because I'm still too young to do nothing. I was only 24 when all that happened. Now at 40 I feel I've got more to give than I ever have.

We're teaching young girls that this is what they should be focusing on: rich and famous girls who are rich and famous for nothing.

The same people who can deny others everything are famous for refusing themselves nothing.

Once you become famous there is nothing left to become but infamous.

I don't think I'll ever feel as famous or as popular as I felt when I was a 17-year-old soccer player in Modle. Only about 20 000 people live there and 12 000 of them come to every game. Running onto the pitch each week was just the most fantastic feeling. Nothing can beat that.

I mean I was famous for nothing.

I really don't know anything else because my brothers were famous when I was two years old. So I know nothing else no other life.
