“In other words, worry is about things that have not happened. Worry is not an emotion; it is a mental exercise.” (Page 272)
“Both faith and fear sail into the harbor of your mind, but only faith should be allowed to anchor.” (Page 118)
“When you don’t forgive someone, in some way that person is in jail, and you are the warden. You’re incarcerated, too, because you have to make sure the prisoner stays there.” (Page 125)
