Aliens Quote by Henry Van Dyke

“Subjection to fear is weakness, bondage, feverish unrest. To be afraid is to have no soul that we can call our own; it is to be at the beck and call of alien powers, to be chained and driven and tormented; it is to lose the life itself in the anxious care to keep it.” quote by Henry Van Dyke — Download Open image
