To fear is one thing. To let fear grab you by the tail and swing you around is another.

Katherine Paterson

Exhaustion is the drug of choice for conscientious anxious people.

The Stoic Emperor

There is no such thing as pure pleasure; some anxiety always goes with it.

Ovid

When we're anxious, disconnected, vulnerable, alone, and feeling helpless, the booze and food and work and endless hours online feel like comfort, but in reality they're only casting their long shadows over our lives.

Brené Brown

Just as anxiety can feed on itself, so can courage.

John J. Ratey

The anxiety of worry is almost always worse than the actual consequences. Stop worrying and start doing.

James Clear
