"All these things we worry about - just think - in an hour, a day, a week, a year, or a lifetime, it will all be over!"
This is one of my favourite pieces of philosophical armor. The reality is that people worry and people always will worry, it is a fact of life, and sayings such as "don't worry, be happy" do not help. The above quotation acknowledge that people will worry, and that it is okay to worry, but by giving the realization that all these things we worry about will be over in time, it provides the philosophical armor to face and survive any challenge.
