aristotle

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.

Men are swayed more by fear than by reverence.

Courage is a mean with regard to fear and confidence.

I have gained this from philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law.

Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.
