Quote

Men are swayed more by fear than by reverence.

Under the influence of fear, which always leads men to take a pessimistic view of things, they magnified their enemies' resources, and minimized their own.

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

Once men are caught up in an event, they cease to be afraid. Only the unknown frightens men.

All forms of tampering with human beings, getting at them, shaping them against their will to your own pattern, all thought control and conditioning is, therefore, a denial of that in men which makes them men and their values ultimate.

Men do weird things when they experience fear. It's like a fight-or-flight thing.

In our civilization, men are afraid that they will not be men enough and women are afraid that they might be considered only women.

Men who are in earnest are not afraid of consequences.

Men are moved by two levers only: fear and self interest.

Most men are very attached to the idea of being male, and usually experience a lot of fear and insecurity around the idea of being a man. Most women are very identified with their gender, and also experience a tremendous amount of fear and insecurity.
