Men are swayed more by fear than by reverence.

The generality of men are naturally swayed more by fear than by reverence, and to refrain from evil rather because of the punishment that it brings than because of its own foulness

He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.

He is his own best friend, and takes delight in privacy whereas the man of no virtue or ability is his own worst enemy and is afraid of solitude

There is a foolish corner in the brain of the wisest man.

Courage is a mean with regard to fear and confidence.
