Sayings On Anxiety

Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.
Benjamin Franklin

There are more things to alarm us than to harm us, and we suffer more often in apprehension than reality.
Seneca

Anxiety is the hand maiden of creativity
Chuck Jones

Anxiety is the poison of human life; the parent of many sins and of more miseries. In a world where everything is doubtful, and where we may be disappointed, and be blessed in disappointment, why this restless stir and commotion of mind? Can it alter the cause, or unravel the mystery of human events?
Tryon Edwards

Nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action.
Walter Anderson

Anxiety about the future never profits; we feel no evil until it comes, and when we feel it, no counsel helps; wisdom is either too early or too late.
Arthur Somers Roche

There is no such thing as pure pleasure;
some anxiety always goes with it.
Ovid

You can never become a great man or woman until you have overcome anxiety, worry, and fear. It is impossible for an anxious person, a worried one, or a fearful one to perceive truth; all things are distorted and thrown out of their proper relations by such mental states, and those who are in them cannot read the thoughts of God.
Wallace D. Wattles
