Worrying...

Worry often gives a small thing a great shadow.

This is a Swedish proverb with which I agree...

Drag your thoughts away from your troubles... 

by the ears, by the heels, or any other way you can manage it.  

~Mark Twain~

Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday.  

~Author Unknown~

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

~Leo Buscaglia~

Troubles are a lot like people - they grow bigger if you nurse them.  

~Author Unknown~

Nerves and butterflies are fine - they're a physical sign that you're mentally ready and eager.  You have to get the butterflies to fly in formation, that's the trick.  

~Steve Bull~

People gather bundles of sticks to build bridges they never cross.  

~Author Unknown~

You can't wring your hands and roll up your sleeves at the same time.  

~Pat Schroeder~

That the birds of worry and care fly over you head, this you cannot change, but that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent.  

~Chinese Proverb~
