What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Bede
The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, etc. This then is the hope of those who fear the Lord, that turning away from the ruin of death, they may merit to come to Him who says, I am the way, and the truth, and the life (John XIV). But as it is said above, The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to turn away from the ruin of death, now it is said, The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to turn away from the ruin of death. …
Bonaventure
And Solomon in Proverbs: "The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, that they may turn aside from the ruin of death." If you do not fear God, you have lost grace, you have lost justice, and you have lost true wisdom.
