Surely there is something in the unruffled calm of nature
that overawes our little anxieties and doubts; the sight of
the deep-blue sky and the clustering stars above seems to
impart a quiet to the mind.
Jonathan Edwards
It is not work that kills men, it is worry. Work is healthy;
you can hardly put more on a man than he can bear. But worry
is rust upon the blade. It is not movement that destroys the
machinery, but friction.
Henry Ward Beecher
Don't waste your life in doubts and fears: spend yourself on
the work before you, well assured that the right performance
of this hour's duties will be the best preparation for the
hours or ages that follow it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the
drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the
influences of each.
Henry David Thoreau
Imagine every day to be the last of a life surrounded with
hopes, cares, anger and fear. The hours that come
unexpectedly will be much the more grateful.
Horace
