Monday quote

Worrying does not take away tomorrow's troubles. It takes away today's peace.

  1. Good quote. Corrie ten Boom said something akin to this:

    Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength.

  2. I don't know where this quote is from, perhaps it is an alternate translation of Corrie's words; or she may have said it several times with various permutations?

  3. Speaking from long experience as a worry-wort, I know this quote to be true. (Now, if I can just keep myself from worrying about my worrying....)
