Quotes by Sarah Smiley

1 quotation from Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), with the subject each one is filed under.

Fear is entirely based on a consideration of some possible, personal, evil consequence coming down upon me from the clear sky above me. Love is based upon the forgetfulness of self altogether. The very essence of love is that it looks away from itself, and to another. Nothing so demoralizes the forces of the soul as fear. Only as we realize the presence of the Lord does fear give place to faith.— filed under Fear
