One of the most common and destructive daily habits that people get caught up in certainly must be the habit of worrying.
It has been one of my biggest issues. And I know from my inbox that so many struggle with this.But instead of doing what I usually do and collecting the best habits and tips that have helped me I’d like to do something different today.
I’d like to share 25 of the best, most empowering and inspiring quotes from the past few thousands of years about worrying and what to do about it.
- “Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.”
– Leo F. Buscaglia - “Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow.”
– Swedish Proverb - “If you want to test your memory, try to recall what you were worrying about one year ago today.”
– E. Joseph Cossman - ”People become attached to their burdens sometimes more than the burdens are attached to them.”
– George Bernard Shaw - “Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment.”
– Dale Carnegie - “The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.”
– Elbert Hubbard - “If you ask what is the single most important key to longevity, I
would have to say it is avoiding worry, stress and tension. And if you
didn’t ask me, I’d still have to say it.”
– George F. Burns - “When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the
old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his
life, most of which had never happened.”
– Winston Churchill - “Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If
encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are
drained.”
– Arthur Somers Roche - “If you treat every situation as a life and death matter, you’ll die a lot of times.”
– Dean Smith - “When one has too great a dread of what is impending, one feels some relief when the trouble has come.”
– Joseph Joubert - “That the birds of worry and care fly over your head, this you
cannot change, but that they build nests in your hair, this you can
prevent.”
– Chinese Proverb - “Worry compounds the futility of being trapped on a dead-end street. Thinking opens new avenues.”
– Cullen Hightower - “Worry is like a rocking chair: it gives you something to do but never gets you anywhere”
– Erma Bombeck - “There is a great difference between worry and concern. A worried
person sees a problem, and a concerned person solves a problem.”
– Harold Stephen - “People get so in the habit of worry that if you save them from
drowning and put them on a bank to dry in the sun with hot chocolate and
muffins they wonder whether they are catching a cold.”
– John Jay Chapman - “Somehow our devils are never quite what we expect when we meet them face to face.”
– Nelson DeMille - “The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work.”
– Robert Frost - “Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.”
– Henry Ward Beecher - “We can easily manage if we will only take, each day, the burden
appointed to it. But the load will be too heavy for us if we carry
yesterday’s burden over again today, and then add the burden of the
morrow before we are required to bear it.”
– John Newton - “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 - “I never worry about action, but only about inaction.”
– Winston Churchill - “Rule number one is, don’t sweat the small stuff. Rule number two is, it’s all small stuff.”
– Robert Eliot - “A day of worry is more exhausting than a day of work.”
– John Lubbock - “Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a
couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train
yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything.”
– Mary Hemingway
