Stop Worrying - Don't Worry Be Happy
As a rule, what is out of sight disturbs men's minds more seriously than what they see.
Julius Caesar
Nobody underestimates his own troubles.
The highest truth cannot be put into words. Therefore the greatest teacher has nothing to say. He simply gives himself in service, and never worries.
Lao Tzu (Hua Hu Ching)
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
MATHEW 6:25 - 34 (The Bible)
The Small Man Is Anxious, The Gentleman Is Never Worried
Confucius
Do you remember the things you were worrying about a year ago? How did they work out? Didn't you waste a lot of fruitless energy on account of most of them? Didn't most of them turn out all right after all?
Dale Carnegie
If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It's the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.
Dale Carnegie
Worry is interest paid on trouble before it comes due. William Ralph Inge
I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.
Mark Twain
The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one. Elbert Hubbard
Do not anticipate trouble or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.
Benjamin Franklin
Grief has limits, whereas apprehension has none. For we grieve only for what we know has happened, but we fear all that possibly may happen.
Pliny the Younger
As a cure for worrying, work is better than whiskey.
Thomas A. Edison
When you suffer an attack of nerves you're being attacked by the nervous system. What chance has a man got against a system?

My life has been full of terrible misfortunes most of which never happened.
Michel de Montaigne
Heavy thoughts bring on physical maladies; when the soul is oppressed so is the body.
Martin Luther
Worry is a complete cycle of inefficient thought revolving about a pivot of fear.
There are more things, Lucilius, that frighten us than injure us, and we suffer more in imagination than in reality.

We are, perhaps, uniquely among the earth's creatures, the worrying animal. We worry away our lives.
