About this Quote

This quote by Luc de Clapiers speaks to the power of worry and hope in influencing human behavior. Fear and hope are 2 of the most effective emotions that drive us to do something about it. Fear can cause us to act out of self-preservation, while hope can inspire us to pursue something better. Worry and hope can both be used to manipulate people into doing things they might not otherwise do. Fear can be used to manage individuals, while hope can be utilized to influence them. Worry and hope can both be used to motivate individuals to take dangers and make modifications in their lives. Eventually, worry and hope can be used to shape our behavior and our decisions, and there is nothing that these two feelings can not influence us to do.
