nothing to fear

No danger here

Nothing to fear describes a situation posing no genuine threat or danger, often used reassuringly: The procedure is routine—there's nothing to fear.

The phrase echoes Franklin Roosevelt's famous declaration that "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself," suggesting that anxiety itself may be the real problem rather than actual circumstances.
