“Why should I worry about dying? It's not going to happen in my lifetime!”

“If I were to say, "God, why me?" about the bad things, then I should have said, "God, why me?" about the good things that happened in my life.”

“When I really worry about something, I don't just fool around. I even have to go to the bathroom when I worry about something. Only, I don't go. I'm too worried to go. I don't want to interrupt my worrying to go.”

“Genuine religion is not about speculating about God or the soul or about what happened in the past or will happen in the future; it cares only about one thing—finding out exactly what should or should not be done in this lifetime.”

“I have this kind of philosophy that I can't do anything about what happened yesterday, or what's going to happen tomorrow. But I feel in full control of what's going on now. I think worry will make you sick. I've never seen it accomplish anything. I've never seen worrying about anything change it. So I decided not to do it. If you can't do anything about it, why in the hell worry about it? Every negative thought you have releases poison into your system, and will kill you or give you cancer, or tumors or whatever else you can think of. So if you are thinking negative about anything, erase that.”

“What will happen will happen and I won't waste my time worrying.”

“Or - perhaps - I should just worry about my own behavior and let others be who they are.”

“Most things I worry about never happen anyway.”

“I can't tell you how many terrorists we let go, we let get away, because we were worried about a woman or a child dying in the process.”

“The good thing about being old, is you don’t have to worry about dying young.”
