This Sunday I used a Corrie ten Boom quote on worry in my Strength in Weakness message. Got me thinking.. here are a few more quotes on the topic:
"What worries you, masters you." -Haddon W. Robinson
"Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday." -Unknown
"Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy." -Leo Buscaglia
"Do not anticipate trouble or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight." -Benjamin Franklin
"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." -Dale Carnegie
"For peace of mind, resign as general manager of the universe." -Unknown
"Worry is like a rocking chair -- it keeps you moving but doesn't get you anywhere." -Corrie ten Boom
Feel free to add your own worry quote in the comments.. but don't worry about it if you don't have one :)
Haddon Robinson. Now there's a name from the past. In about 1978 I heard him preach a sermon I remember vividly to this day. He was (is?) a master of public speaking.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot my favorite - "don't worry, be happy".
ReplyDeleteMy wife hates me because I worry about nothing -- kids could be out in a hurricane and I have no problem getting to sleep.
