It sound like a misattribution. Do you have a reliable source for the quote?
“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear – not absence of fear. Except a creature be part coward it is not a compliment to say it is brave.” ~Mark Twain, Pudd’nhead Wilson’s Calendar, 1894
OK People–it’s time to take the gloves off. Are we going to sit here in fear and indecision, listening to the traitors in the State Department and the CIA, while the Islamofacists pick off Westerners one by one, and force our government into retreat and defeat?
I propose that the US government immediately institute a new policy. Every time an American citizen or a citizen of an allied nation is beheaded, we round up five enemy personnel and publicly behead them and throw their bodies into a herd of wild, crazed and hungry swine.
Further, I propose we immediately aim nuclear tipped missiles at Mecca and Medina, and encircle the Dome of the Rock with high-powered explosives, and announce to the Muslim world that the next attack on an American citizen or property, or the citizens or properties of our allies will result in the immediate vaporization of their holy sites.
This is all-out war, and we had better start treating it that way. The survival of western civilization is at stake!

He learned that from Master Po.
Having been born with fangs, the fear thing usually applies only when threatened with large, inedible, machines. Everything else is potentially food.
It’s biblical. Job 3:25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
wouldn’t that also be true if you lacked any fear whatsoever?
