Life is too
short to be little. Often we allow ourselves to be upset
by little things we should forget. . . . We may lose many
irreplaceable
hours brooding over small grievances that in a year’s time will be
forgotten. So let us devote our lives to worthwhile actions and
feelings—to great thoughts, real affection and enduring
undertakings. -Andre Maurois

Don't let the darkness have
you. Don't let it hold you in its grasp whenever it
wants just by controlling your thoughts. Let things go,
and let them be. Whatever has happened is over, and
while you may know that you can't trust a certain person any
more, that doesn't mean that you have to keep focusing on
something awful that that someone has done. Then it's no
longer that person hurting you, but you hurting yourself.
-Tom Walsh

The best cure
for worry, depression, melancholy,
brooding, is to go deliberately forth and try to
lift with one's sympathy the gloom of somebody else.
-Arnold Bennett

God has so ordered, that in pressing on in duty
we shall find the truest,
richest comfort for ourselves.
Sitting down to brood over our sorrows,
the darkness deepens
about us and creeps into our heart, and our strength
changes to
weakness. But, if we turn
away from the gloom, and take up the
tasks and duties to which God
calls us,
the light will come again, and we shall grow stronger.
-Lettie Cowman

| Chronic remorse, as all the
moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have
behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to
the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your
wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting
clean. -Aldous Huxley |
