The Darkroom

Going through my e-mail this morning, I found a quote that a friend sent and it seemed very a propos given the topic of my last post.

 “Worry is like a rocking chair–it gives you something to do but it doesn’t get you anywhere.”

I wanted to post it to share with all of you, but I decided to see if I could attribute it to anyone so I did a little research first. Well, I didn’t find my answer, but I DID find a pile of other quotes about worry. Here’s a few that I liked.

“When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened”  Winston Churchill

“There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever” Mahatma Gandhi

“Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.” Arthur Somers Roche

“Worry is the darkroom in which negatives are developed”

“If we spend our time with regrets over yesterday, and worries over what might happen tomorrow, we have no today in which to live.”

And this one just made me laugh:  

“Worry is as useless as a handle on a snowball”
