''Quiver'' 1) ''I quiver with fear.'' (Personally, I like this sentence most!) 2) ''I tremble with fear.'' What is the difference between the two sentences above? How do the verbs ''tremble'' and ''quiver'' differ from one another? What about ''shiver''? Thank you very much.

I would disagree with Ember on the first point. To me, a tremble is gentler than a quiver. It also suggests a lower frequency to me - it's more of a shake. I think that although 'tremble' is the more common and normal word to use with fear, quiver and to some degree shiver would also both work.

Tremble with fear. <-- bigger? Quiver in anticipation.<-- smaller Horror makes a shiver go down my spine. <-- small and short-lived?

you could say that tremble is a more powerful shake than quiver. when someone says quiver it seems like a little shake, while trembling; ex. trembling in fear- is almost a violent shake. if you use the word shiver, it usually implies that one is cold, and that would not be the proper use in the situation.
