Worry proverbs

◆ According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two indications that a transformation is taking place within you toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don't bother you anymore. You become light-hearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous. (quoted by Carol Lynn Pearson in Consider the Butterfly)

- Deepak Chopra99

◆ The more you pray, the less you'll panic. The more you worship, the less you worry. You'll feel more patient and less pressured.

- Rick Warren99

◆ How would your life be different if…You stopped worrying about things you can't control and started focusing on the things you can? Let today be the day…You free yourself from fruitless worry, seize the day and take effective action on things you can change.

- Steve Maraboli99

◆ It's not time to worry yet

- Harper Lee99

◆ Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.

- Marcus Aurelius99

◆ If the problem can be solved why worry? If the problem cannot be solved worrying will do you no good.

◆ If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget there is such a thing as war. If the government is inefficient, top-heavy, and tax-mad, better it be all those than that people worry over it. Peace, Montag. Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change.

- Ray Bradbury99

◆ Whatever is going to happen will happen, whether we worry or not.

- Ana Monnar99

◆ If we are worried about the future, then we must look today at the upbringing of children.

- Gordon B. Hinckley99

◆ A medicine cat has no time for doubt. Put your energy into today and stop worrying about the past.

- Erin Hunter99

◆ If you spent your life concentrating on what everyone else thought of you, would you forget who you really were?

- Jodi Picoult99

◆ If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if you cannot do anything, then there is also no need to worry.

- Dalai Lama XIV99

◆ Never worry alone. When anxiety grabs my mind, it is self-perpetuating. Worrisome thoughts reproduce faster than rabbits, so one of the most powerful ways to stop the spiral of worry is simply to disclose my worry to a friend... The simple act of reassurance from another human being [becomes] a tool of the Spirit to cast out fear -- because peace and fear are both contagious.

- John Ortberg Jr.99

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

- Leo Buscaglia99

◆ If there is no solution to the problem then don't waste time worrying about it. If there is a solution to the problem then don't waste time worrying about it.

- Dalai Lama XIV99
