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.

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.

I do not worry to die.

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 Welsh Hemingway

Loneliness, insomnia, and change:
the fear of these is
even worse than the reality.

If you want to test your memory,
try to recall
what you were worrying about
one year ago, today.

Worry never robs tomorrow
of its sorrow,
it only saps today of its joy.

There is a great difference
between worry and concern.
A worried person
sees a problem,
and a concerned person
solves a problem.
