The term 'Is Fear Itself' is a phrase from Franklin D. Roosevelt's first inaugural address in 1933. In this speech, Roosevelt was attempting to reassure the American people during the Great Depression and to encourage them to have faith in themselves and their country. He argued that fear was the greatest enemy of the nation and that it should be overcome. The phrase has since become a popular saying and is often used to remind people to stay strong in the face of adversity.
