“Most men, however brave, have some anxiety or fear in them.”

My own soul is my most faithful friend. My own heart, my truest confidant

Like us many have spoken over this spring, but they were gone in the twinkling of an eye. We conquered the world with bravery and might, but we did not take it with us to the grave.

Wait not while your foe fits arrow to bowstring when you can send your own arrow into him.

We can’t all and some of us don’t. That’s all there is to it.

I was in misery, and misery is the state of every soul overcome by friendship with mortal things and lacerated when they are lost.

If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.

Vision creates faith and faith creates willpower. With faith there is no anxiety and no doubt – just absolute confidence in yourself.

Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems.

The reality is, sometimes, you lose. And you’re never too good to lose. And you’re never too big to lose. You’re never too smart to lose.

Anxiety is one of the most contagious emotions – that’s why it always takes down groups of people, not just individuals.⁣⁣

Fear and anxiety can drive us to become very self-focused.
