Americans love their captivity. There's no responsibility. When you're a captive, you don't have to make a decision about anything, though you have no Liberty. People don't want Liberty. Liberty is nothing but uncertainty. It's much easier to have someone tell you where you'll be, what you'll do and who you'll pay tomorrow than to worry about it yourself. The same goes for what you think.

Worry gives a small thing a big shadow.

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.

I am reminded of the advice of my neighbor. "Never worry about your heart 'til it stops beating."

A day of worry is more exhausting than a week of work.

The worst thing you can possibly do is worrying and thinking about what you could have done.

Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.

I have lived a long life and had many troubles, most of which never happened.

Live your daily life in a way that you never lose yourself. When you are carried away with your worries, fears, cravings, anger, and desire, you run away from yourself and you lose yourself. The practice is always to go back to oneself.

The past is finished. Learn from it and let it go. The future is not even here yet. Plan for it, but do not waste your time worrying about it. Worrying is worthless. When you stop ruminating about what has already happened, when you stop worrying about what might never happen, then you will be in the present moment. Then you will begin to experience joy in life.

Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow; it just saps the joy out of today.

There is nothing that wastes the body like worry.

Abiding happiness is not simply a possibility, but a duty all may live above the troubles of life. Worry is a poison and happiness is a medicine.

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.

Sometimes I worry about being a success in a mediocre world.

Worry is like a rocking chair: it keeps you moving but doesn't get you anywhere.

Don’t worry about the world coming to an end today. It’s already tomorrow in Australia.

There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.
