Fear is the foundation of most governments.

Half the things that people do not succeed in are through fear of making the attempt.

Governments sometimes turn paranoid. And they fear things. And sometimes the thing they fear the most is the populace.

People are afraid of an unorganized, wasteful government.

The Federal Government is exploiting public fear to redefine the relationship between the rulers and the American people.

Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.

Fear is a great motivator. Look at what 9-11 has accomplished - My god. It's slammed the economy, It's - I can't even begin to detail all it's actually done, other than bring down the buildings and hit the Pentagon. It's stunned the entire nation.

Extremists and populist movements are exploiting people's fear of those who are not like us. We can see the consequences in the form of terrorism and racially motivated violence.

People are afraid of failure - they don't like to work so hard and have people keep saying, 'No.' I think that's what people fear most.

Fear is a powerful weapon. It can excite and motivate, and it can get people to yell and to scream. But fear has never created a job.
