terrors
«Not so many years ago there was no simpler or more intelligible notion than that of going on a journey. Travel /movement through space /provided the universal metaphor for change. One of the subtle confusions /perhaps one of the secret terrors /of modern life is that we have lost this refuge. No longer do we move through space as we once did.»
«Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.»
«LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me? / I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.»
«It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.»
«Religion often partakes of the myth of progress that shields us from the terrors of an uncertain future.»

«It is true that so far as wealth gives time for ideal ends and exercise to ideal energies, wealth is better than poverty and ought to be chosen. But wealth does this in only a portion of the actual cases. Elsewhere the desire to gain wealth and the fear to lose it are our chief breeders of cowardice and propagators of corruption. There must be thousands of conjunctures in which a wealth-bound man must be a slave, whilst a man for whom poverty has no terrors becomes a freeman.»
