Other quotes :
-----------
“Work creates mental relaxation.”
“It is difficult to worry if you’re doing something that requires planning and thinking.”
“I went from room to room in the house, compiling a lot of jobs to be done. Scores of items needed to be repaired… I am so busy now that I have no time for worry.”
“I am too busy. I have no time for worry.” - Winston Churchill
“Ninety-nine percent of the things I’ve worried about actually never happened.”
“…Lloyds of London has made countless millions of dollars on the tendency of everybody to worry about things that rarely happen… They don’t call it betting, they call it insurance. But it really is betting, based on the law of averages.”
“Before I learned to conquer worry, I lived through 11 years of self-made hell.”
“Those who do not know how to fight worry, die young.”
“I began to place a stop-loss order on every type of annoyance that came to me… on my temper… my regrets… on all my emotional strains.”
“A man is what he thinks about all day long. How could he be anything else?” - Emerson
“I now know with a conviction beyond all doubt that the biggest problem you and I have to deal with - in fact almost the only problem we have to deal with - is choosing the right thoughts.”
“An angry man is full of poison.” - Confucius
“It is natural for people to forget to be grateful… Instead of worrying about ingratitude, let’s expect it. Let’s remember that Jesus healed 10 lepers in one day, and only 1 thanked him. Why should we expect more gratitude then Jesus got ?”
“I saw a man who had no legs… He greeted me with a fine smile… If he can be cheerful, happy, and confident without legs, I certainly can with legs… Why don’t you stop right now and ask yourself ‘What in the hell am I worrying about?’ You will probably find that it is comparatively unimportant and insignificant.”
“Always be yourself… Nobody is so miserable as he who longs to be somebody other than the person he is in body and mind.”
“You and I have such abilities, so let’s stop worrying that we are not like others. You are something new in this world. Never before since the beginning of time has there ever been anybody exactly like you, and never again for all the ages to come will there be anybody exactly like you ever again.”
“Men do not die from overwork. They die from dissipation and worry. … from dissipation of their energies and worry because they never seem to get their work done.”
“The first requisite for a good night’s sleep is a feeling of security. We need to feel that some power, greater than ourselves, will take care of us until morning… One of the best sleep producing agents which my years of practice have revealed to me is prayer. I say this purely as a medical man.”
“Talk to your body.”
“Rest before you get tired.”
“To prevent worry and fatigue, put enthusiasm into your work.”
"I only know that today, 17 years after leaving the Sahara, I still maintain that happy resignation to the inevitable... When the fierce burning winds take control of our lives and we cannot prevent them, let us accept the inevitable, and then get busy and pick up the pieces."
"...I live every day now as if it's the first day I would have ever seen, and the last I were going to see. I am excited about the daily adventure of living, and nobody in a state of excitement will be unduly troubled by worries... One of the chief reasons for success in life is enthusiasm."
"...When I was terribly depressed, I forced myself to become physically active almost every hour of the day... I'm a great believer in working up a tremendous sweat. I found that depression and worry oozed out of my system this way."
"Two months from now, I shall not be worrying about this, so why worry about it now? Why not assume now the same attitude I will have 2 months from now?"
"...I have lived; they only existed.... I know things they will never know. It is only the women whose eyes have been washed clear with tears who get the broad vision that makes them little sisters to all the world.... I have acquired a sense of humor... when a woman can joke over troubles instead of be in hysterics, nothing much can ever hurt her again." - Dorothy Dix
