The drying up a single tear has more
Of honest fame, than shedding seas of gore. 
—­Byron.

Fashion.—­Fashion’s smile has given wit to dullness and grace to deformity, and has brought everything into vogue, by turns, except virtue.—­Colton.

A woman would be in despair if Nature had formed her as fashion makes her appear.—­Mlle. De L’ESPINASSE.

Fashion is not public opinion, or the result of embodiment of public opinion.  It may be that public opinion will condemn the shape of a bonnet, as it may venture to do always, and with the certainty of being right nine times in ten:  but fashion will place it upon the head of every woman in America; and, were it literally a crown of thorns, she would smile contentedly beneath the imposition.—­J.G.  Holland.

Fashion is among the last influences under which a human being who respects himself, or who comprehends the great end of life, would desire to be placed.—­Channing.

The Empress of France had but to change the position of a ribbon to set all the ribbons in Christendom to rustling.  A single word from her convulsed the whalebone market of the world.—­J.G.  Holland.

A fashionable woman is always in love—­with herself.—­La ROCHEFOUCAULD.

Change of fashions is the tax which industry imposes on the vanity of the rich.—­CHAMFORT.

Fashion, a word which knaves and fools may use
Their knavery and folly to excuse. 
—­Churchill.

Fear.—­The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.—­Psalm 111:10.

O, fear not in a world like this,
And thou shalt know ere long,—­
Know how sublime a thing it is
To suffer and be strong. 
—­Longfellow.

Fear not the proud and the haughty; fear rather him who fears God.  —­Saadi.

Fear guides more to their duty than gratitude; for one man who is virtuous from the love of virtue, from the obligation he thinks he lies under to the Giver of all, there are ten thousand who are good only from their apprehension of punishment.—­Goldsmith.

The fear of God is freedom, joy, and peace;
And makes all ills that vex us here to cease. 
—­Waller.

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?—­Psalm 27:1.

Fear is implanted in us as a preservative from evil.—­Dr. Johnson.

God planted fear in the soul as truly as He planted hope or courage.  Fear is a kind of bell, or gong, which rings the mind into quick life and avoidance upon the approach of danger.  It is the soul’s signal for rallying.—­Beecher.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:  because fear hath torment.—­1 John 4:18.

Fear is the tax that conscience pays to guilt.—­George Sewell.

Fear not; for I am with thee.—­Isaiah 43:5.
