People become attached to their burdens sometimes more than the burdens are attached to them.
-George Bernard Shaw
Quotations
Worry
Worry is interest paid on trouble before it comes due.
-William Inge
No matter how grave a problem you are stuck in, to resolve it you must know the
difference between 'thinking' and 'worrying'. Reflecting upon it, however complex
a problem may be, it soon gets solved; whereas worrying about the problem,
you are consumed by it.
-Deep Trivedi
Loneliness, insomnia, and change: the fear of these is even worse than the reality.
-Mignon McLaughlin
"The Second Neurotic's Notebook"
Rule number one is, don't sweat the small stuff. Rule number two is, it's all small stuff.
-Robert Eliot
Love looks forward, hate looks back, anxiety has eyes all over its head.
-Mignon McLaughlin
"The Neurotic's Notebook"
Don't think you are getting worried because it is a matter of 'worry'; as the same
news yields different intensities of worries in each person.
-Deep Trivedi
There is always sufficient reason for despair, but there is never sufficient purpose.
-Robert Brault
He who fears he shall suffer, already suffers what he fears.
-Michel De Montaigne
"Essays"
Some men storm imaginary Alps all their lives, and die in the foothills cursing difficulties which do not exist.
-E. W. Howe
