English term or phrase: Fear Nothing On Earth

I'd like to have this as a short latin phrase for a motto on a crest/tattoo. Thanks

Austin Parker

Latin translation:Nihil in terris /umquam timendum

Explanation:
Since it has to be used for a crest, the gerundive is more suitable and common and general (literally : "nothing is to be feared"), as "time" is referred just to one person and "timete" to more than one.
If "on earth" means "on our planet", then "in terris, if it means "ever", then "umquam".

I forgot to add that grammatically there should be an "est" [timendum est], but it is commonly left out in crests and mottos.
