“Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.”
Quote from Goodreads.
Do you have any special plans for the weekend? I'm hoping to clean up my flower beds if it's not snowing like yesterday!

He has a point!
ReplyDeleteI love that quote! Lots of fights and wars could be averted.
ReplyDeleteI can see that; if you conquer your fear you probably could do a lot of good things! No special plans for the weekend;just the usual grocery shopping, etc. I think there might be a car show we go to if the weather is nice :)

Suddenly I am reminded of Dune - "Fear is the mind killer ..." a valid sentiment.
