"I'm awfully worried this morning, said one woman. What is it?" "Why, I thought of something to worry about last night, and now I can't remember it."
A famous actress once said: "Worry is the foe of all beauty." She might have added: "It is the foe to all health."
"It seems so heartless in me, if I do not worry about my children," said one mother.
Women nurse their troubles, as they do their babies. "Troubles grow larger," said Lady Holland, "by nursing."
"He grieves," says Seneca, "more than is necessary, who grieves before it is necessary."
"My children," said a dying man, "during my long life I have had a great many troubles, most of which never happened." A prominent businessman in Philadelphia said that his father worried for twenty-five years over an anticipated misfortune, which never arrived.
We try to grasp too much of life at once; since we think of it as a whole, instead of living one day at a time. Life is a mosaic, and each tiny piece must be cut and set with skill, first one piece, then another. It is not the troubles of today, but those of tomorrow and next week and next year, that whiten our heads, wrinkle our faces, and bring us to a standstill.
Nervous prostration is seldom the result of present trouble or work, but of work and trouble anticipated. Mental exhaustion comes to those who look ahead, and climb mountains before reaching them. Resolutely build a wall about today, and live within the enclosure. The past may have been hard, sad, or wrong, - but it is over.
Why not take a turn about? Instead of worrying over unforeseen misfortune, set out with all your soul to rejoice in the unforeseen blessings of all your coming days. "I find the gayest castles in the air that were ever piled," says Emerson, "far better for comfort and for use than the dungeons in the air that are daily dug and cavern out by grumbling, discontented people."
What is this world but as you take it? Thackeray calls the world a looking glass that gives back the reflection of one's own face. "Frown at it, and it will look sourly upon you; laugh at it, and it is a jolly companion."

Harold B. Walker
"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."
Ernest Hemingway
"It is the little bits of things that fret and worry us; we can dodge a elephant, but we can't dodge a fly."
Josh Billings
"Worrying about it takes precious time and attention away from your priorities and increases your feelings of dissatisfaction about life."
Christina Winsey-Rudd
Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere."
Author Unknown
"Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained."
