“Do the hard jobs first. The easy jobs will take care of themselves.”

“Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it… that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.”

“If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”

“Feeling sorry for yourself, and your present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have.”

“Happiness doesn’t depend on any external conditions it is governed by our mental attitude.”

“If you can’t sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It’s the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.”

“Instead of worrying about that people say of you, why not spend time trying to accomplish something they will admire.”
