Guatama Buddha Quotes on Fear (5 Quotes)

Greed, lust, fear, anger, misfortune, unhappiness, all Are derived from foolishness. Thus, foolishness is the greatest of poisons.

Do not become attached to the things you like, do not cherish aversion to the things you dislike. Sorrow, fear and bondage come from one's likes and dislikes.

From craving arises sorrow, from craving arises fear, but he who is freed from craving has no sorrow and certainly no fear.

When a man venerates those worthy of veneration, be they Buddhas or their disciples, who have transcended all obstacles and passed beyond sorrow and tears venerating such as these, whose passions are extinguished and for whom there is no further source for fear, no one can calculate how great his merit is.

Never have anything to do with likes and dislikes. The absence of what one likes is painful, as is the presence of what one dislikes. Therefore don't take a liking to anything. To lose what one likes is hard, but there are no bonds for those who have no likes and dislikes. From preference arises sorrow, from preference arises fear, but he who is freed from preference has no sorrow and certainly no fear.
