Never bear more than one trouble at a time. Some people bear three kinds -- all they have had, all they have now, and all they expect to have.

  --Edward Everett Hale, author (1822-1909)

(9:5.7) Too often, all too often, you mar your minds by insincerity and sear them with unrighteousness; you subject them to animal fear and distort them by useless anxiety.

(48:7.21)  Anxiety must be abandoned. The disappointments hardest to bear are those which never come.

(111:6.1)  Man is finite, but he is indwelt by a spark of infinity. Such a dual situation not only provides the potential for evil but also engenders many social and moral situations fraught with much uncertainty and not a little anxiety.

(113:2.5) The angels really find it hard to understand why you will so persistently allow your higher intellectual powers, even your religious faith, to be so dominated by fear, so thoroughly demoralized by the thoughtless panic of dread and anxiety.

(140:8.3) What he [Jesus] preached against was not forethought but anxiety, worry.

(165:5.2) Besides, all of your anxiety or fretting doubts can do nothing to supply your material needs. Which of you by anxiety can add a handbreadth to your stature or a day to your life? Since such matters are not in your hands, why do you give anxious thought to any of these problems?

(179:2.3) The Master had but one anxiety, and that was for the safety and salvation of his chosen followers.
