Don't worry...

Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it gets you nowhere.
~Glenn Turner

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

Attitude...

Attitudes are contagious. Are yours worth catching?
~Dennis and Wendy Mannering

Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.
~Anthony J. D'Angelo, The College Blue Book

Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same.
~Francesca Reigler

This Amused me...

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
~Herm Albright, quoted in Reader's Digest, June 1995

Henry Ford...

Don't find fault. Find a remedy.
~Henry Ford

Take action...

Inspirations never go in for long engagements; they demand immediate marriage to action.
~Brendan Francis

Never act until you have clearly answered the question: "What happens if I do nothing?"
~Robert Brault, www.robertbrault.com

A nod,
a bow,
and a tip of the lid
to the person
who coulda
and shoulda
and did.

~Robert Brault, "A Poem Missing the Word Woulda," www.robertbrault.com

Be yourself...

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. ~e.e. cummings, 1955

God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.
~William Shakespeare

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.
~e.e. cummings

Bertrand Russell...

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)
