I know not that you have anything to do with fear. Your continual prayer should be for faith and love. I admired a holy man in France who, considering the state of one who was full of doubts and fears, forbade him to think of his sins at all, and ordered him to think only of the love of God in Christ. The fruit was, all his fears vanished away, and he lived and died in the triumph of his faith.
Letter to Mary Bishop, 1770
You fear where no fear is.
Letter to Zechariah Yewdall, 1782
Do right and fear nothing.
