Fear of God
"The fear of God is not the beginning of wisdom. The fear of God is the death of wisdom." - Clarence Darrow, Why I Am An Agnostic
"Those that worship God merely for Fear
Would worship the Devil too, if he appear." - Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia, No. 6419, pub. 1732
"In cell and cloister, in monastery and synagogue:
Some fear hell and others dream of Paradise.
But no man who really knows the secrets of his God
Has planted seeds like this within his heart." - Omar Khayyam, "Seeds Like These," in Idries Shah's The Way of the Sufi, p.65, pub. A.D.1968
