If then this is fear, all things must be fearful that
appear to have great power of destroying or inflicting injuries that tend to
produce great pain. That is why even the signs of such misfortunes are fearful,

Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 22, translated by J. H. Freese. Aristotle. Cambridge and London. Harvard University Press; William Heinemann Ltd. 1926.
