M. Scott Peck:
The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.
Rumi:
Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy, absent-minded.
Someone sober will worry about events going badly.
Let the lover be.
Stanley C. Allyn:
There is no use worrying about things over which you have no control, and if you have control, you can do something about them instead of worrying.
Swedish proverb:
Worry gives a small thing a big shadow.
