Since ancient times, people have been saying proverbs about fear. Moreover, they should not have intimidated people, but rather taught them to overcome all life obstacles with pride. After all, Russian people have always been famous for their courage, which means that it was necessary to maintain their reputation.
Many proverbs about fear were able to reach our days. And now we can use them in order to look at the world differently and thereby strengthen our character. And so let's look at the most striking examples of proverbs and sayings about fear and courage.
