To fear the worst oft cures the worst.
A smile cures the wounding of a frown.
Blind fear, that seeing reason leads, finds safer footing than blind reason stumbling without fear: to fear the worst oft cures the worse.
Diseases desperate grown By desperate appliances are relieved, Or not at all.
Falsehood falsehood cures
Care is no cure, but rather corrosive, For things that are not to be remedied.
To fear the worst oft cures the worse.
None can cure their harms by wailing them.
Your tale, sir, would cure deafness.
