Mark Twain
“Drag your thoughts away
from your troubles...
by the ears, by the heels,
or any other way you can manage it.”
― Mark Twain

Bill  Bryson
“Disassemble the cells of a sponge (by passing them through a sieve, for instance), then dump them into a solution, and they will find their way back together and build themselves into a sponge again. You can do this to them over and over, and they will doggedly reassemble because, like you and me and every other living thing, they have one overwhelming impulse: to continue to be.”
― Bill Bryson, A Short History of Nearly Everything

Leo F. Buscaglia
“Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.”
― Leo Buscaglia

Rachel Carson
“The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction.”
― Rachel Carson

Benjamin Franklin
“Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen.
Keep in the sunlight.”
― Benjamin Franklin
