His face searching the bus windows looked expectant, impatient, and a little anxious. It was a husband's face. Familiar, known, increasing beloved. Mary Ann, I reflected, had an awful lot to learn. And actually, I reflected, I wouldn't be in her shoes right now for all the flowers in Bermuda ... having it all to learn again.
— Ann Head

I'm always just very nervous. I never feel like, 'I've got this'. I'm always very nervous and aware of how quickly people can hate you and that scares me. I never feel like I'm on top of it or I know what I'm doing ... so, no. I never get a big head, I just get more and more anxious. — Jennifer Lawrence

The Robin and the Sparrow"

Why these anxious human beings
Rush about and worry so."

"Friend I think that it must be,
That they have no Heavenly Father,
Such as cares for you and me. — Elizabeth Cheney

I'm fearful and anxious for my family in ways that I've never been fearful or anxious for myself. I'm completely vulnerable to their pain, both physical and emotional. It's wild. And I wouldn't trade it for anything. — Mark Deklin
![Anxious Quotes By William Ellery Channing Anxious Quotes By William Ellery Channing](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-william-ellery-channing-148873.jpg)
The miracles of Christ were studiously performed in the most unostentatious way. He seemed anxious to veil His majesty under the love with which they were wrought. — William Ellery Channing
![Anxious Quotes By Charlotte Bronte Anxious Quotes By Charlotte Bronte](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-charlotte-bronte-150070.jpg)
... the matter was new to me, and I had no material for its treatment. But I got books, read up the facts, laboriously constructed a skeleton out of the dry bones of the real, and then clothed them, and tried to breathe into them life, and in this last aim I had pleasure. With me it was a difficult and anxious time till my facts were found, selected, and properly pointed; nor could I rest from research and effort till I was satisfied of correct anatomy; the strength of my inward repugnance to the idea of flaw or falsity sometimes enabled me to shun egregious blunders; but the knowledge was not there in my head, ready and mellow; it had not been down in Spring, grown in Summer, harvested in Autumn, and garnered through Winter; whatever I wanted I must go out and gather fresh; glean of wild herbs my lap full, and shred them green into the pot. — Charlotte Bronte
![Anxious Quotes By Jon Stewart Anxious Quotes By Jon Stewart](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-jon-stewart-93272.jpg)

![Anxious Quotes By Heinrich Hertz Anxious Quotes By Heinrich Hertz](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-heinrich-hertz-201519.jpg)
In my work I now have the comfortable feeling that I am so to speak on my own ground and territory and almost certainly not competing in an anxious race and that I shall not suddenly read in the literature that someone else had done it all long ago. It is really at this point that the pleasure of research begins, when one is, so to speak, alone with nature and no longer worries about human opinions, views and demands. To put it in a way that is more learned than clear: the philological aspect drops out and only the philosophical remains. — Heinrich Hertz
![Anxious Quotes By Gian Kumar Anxious Quotes By Gian Kumar](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-gian-kumar-115075.jpg)
Neither bend from sorrows of the past,
Nor be anxious about future or get excited in the present.
Past, present and future are all manifested in AUM- the Self;
Which combines all three energies, Material, mental and sleep, in unison. — Gian Kumar
![Anxious Quotes By Sydney Samuelson Anxious Quotes By Sydney Samuelson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-sydney-samuelson-93430.jpg)

![Anxious Quotes By Marie Balter Anxious Quotes By Marie Balter](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-marie-balter-182713.jpg)
Now, as I look back on my life, I can honestly say I wouldn't change it. The pain and suffering have brought me psychological understanding and spiritual strength. I still feel the pain when I reflect on those experiences, but while once they would throw me deeper and deeper into anxious despair, now they feed my desire to keep growing. (3) — Marie Balter
![Anxious Quotes By David Sheff Anxious Quotes By David Sheff](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-david-sheff-114119.jpg)
He had black fingernails and drove a hearse. Everything about him cried out, 'Look at me, look at me,' and when you looked at him, he would snap, 'Who the fuck are you looking at?' If you subscribe to the idea that addiction is a disease, it is startling to see how many of these children- paranoid, anxious, bruised, tremulous, withered, in some cases psychotic - are seriously ill, slowly dying. We'd never allow such a scene if these kids had any other disease. They would be in a hospital, not on the streets. — David Sheff
![Anxious Quotes By Boris Pasternak Anxious Quotes By Boris Pasternak](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-boris-pasternak-125563.jpg)
Resurrection. In the crude form in which it is preached to console the weak, it is alien to me. I have always understood Christ's words about the living and the dead in a different sense. Where could you find room for all these hordes of people accumulated over thousands of years? The universe isn't big enough for them; God, the good, and meaningful purpose would be crowded out. They'd be crushed by these throngs greedy merely for the animal life.
But all the time, life, one, immense, identical throughout its innumerable combinations and transformations, fills the universe and is continually reborn. You are anxious about whether you will rise from the dead or not, but you rose from the dead when you were born and you didn't notice it. — Boris Pasternak
![Anxious Quotes By Rabindranath Tagore Anxious Quotes By Rabindranath Tagore](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-rabindranath-tagore-146528.jpg)
Why did the flower fade? I pressed it to my heart with anxious love, that is why the flower faded. — Rabindranath Tagore
![Anxious Quotes By Tom Felton Anxious Quotes By Tom Felton](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-tom-felton-103220.jpg)
I remember my first scene with Alan Rickman, and I was anxious because he is a slight 'method' actor; as soon as he is in his cloak, he walks and talks like Snape - it is quite terrifying. But I really wanted to talk to him because 'Robin Hood' was one of my favourite films. — Tom Felton
![Anxious Quotes By Vinny Testaverde Anxious Quotes By Vinny Testaverde](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-vinny-testaverde-144545.jpg)
I'm excited, happy, nervous, anxious, all those feelings about playing for the Jets again. If I didn't have high expectations, I wouldn't come back here. — Vinny Testaverde
![Anxious Quotes By Patrick Henry Anxious Quotes By Patrick Henry](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-patrick-henry-140129.jpg)
My political curiosity, exclusive of my anxious solicitude for the public welfare, leads me to ask who authorized them (the framers of the Constitution) to speak the language of 'We, the People,' instead of 'We, the States'? — Patrick Henry
![Anxious Quotes By George Saunders Anxious Quotes By George Saunders](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-george-saunders-182909.jpg)
When young, we're anxious - understandably - to find out if we've got what it takes. Can we succeed? Can we build a viable life for ourselves? But you - in particular you, of this generation - may have noticed a certain cyclical quality to ambition. You do well in high-school, in hopes of getting into a good college, so you can do well in the good college, in the hopes of getting a good job, so you can do well in the good job so you can ...
And this is actually O.K. If we're going to become kinder, that process has to include taking ourselves seriously - as doers, as accomplishers, as dreamers. We have to do that, to be our best selves.
Still, accomplishment is unreliable. "Succeeding," whatever that might mean to you, is hard, and the need to do so constantly renews itself (success is like a mountain that keeps growing ahead of you as you hike it), and there's the very real danger that "succeeding" will take up your whole life, while the big questions go untended. — George Saunders
![Anxious Quotes By Pope Francis Anxious Quotes By Pope Francis](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-pope-francis-115698.jpg)
We are impatient, anxious to see the whole picture, but God lets us see things slowly, quietly. — Pope Francis
![Anxious Quotes By Joseph Conrad Anxious Quotes By Joseph Conrad](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-joseph-conrad-114571.jpg)
I was anxious to deal with this shadow by myself alone -- and to this day I don't know why I was so jealous of sharing with any one the peculiar blackness of that experience. — Joseph Conrad
![Anxious Quotes By Margaret Atwood Anxious Quotes By Margaret Atwood](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-margaret-atwood-195347.jpg)
According to Adam One, the Fall of Man was multidimensional. The ancestral primates fell out of the trees; then they fell from vegetarianism into meat-eating. Then they fell from instinct into reason, and thus into technology; from simple signals into complex grammar, and thus into humanity; from firelessness into fire, and thence into weaponry; and from seasonal mating into an incessant sexual twitching. Then they fell from a joyous life in the moment into the anxious contemplation of the vanished past and the distant future. — Margaret Atwood
![Anxious Quotes By Tove Jansson Anxious Quotes By Tove Jansson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-tove-jansson-90648.jpg)
She started thinking about all the euphemisms for death, all the anxious taboos that had always fascinated her. It was too bad you could never have an intelligent discussion on the subject. People were either too young or too old, or else they didn't have time. — Tove Jansson
![Anxious Quotes By Bryan Adams Anxious Quotes By Bryan Adams](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-bryan-adams-126972.jpg)
Learn the art of patience. Apply discipline to your thoughts when they become anxious over the outcome of a goal. — Bryan Adams
![Anxious Quotes By Tom Cruise Anxious Quotes By Tom Cruise](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-tom-cruise-131578.jpg)
When I was about 7 years old, I had been labeled dyslexic. I'd try to concentrate on what I was reading, then I'd get to the end of the page and have very little memory of anything I'd read. I would go blank, feel anxious, nervous, bored, frustrated, dumb. I would get angry. My legs would actually hurt when I was studying. My head ached. All through school and well into my career, I felt like I had a secret. When I'd go to a new school, I wouldn't want the other kids to know about my learning disability, but then I'd be sent off to remedial reading. — Tom Cruise
![Anxious Quotes By Edmund Burke Anxious Quotes By Edmund Burke](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-edmund-burke-205109.jpg)
Better to be despised for too anxious apprehensions, than ruined by too confident a security. — Edmund Burke
![Anxious Quotes By Swami Satchidananda Anxious Quotes By Swami Satchidananda](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-swami-satchidananda-153298.jpg)
If you are that patient, your mind is more settled, and what you do will be more perfect. If you are unsettled and anxious to get the result, you are already disturbed; nothing done with that disturbed mind will have quality. So, it is not only how long you practice, but with what patience, what earnestness and what quality also. — Swami Satchidananda
![Anxious Quotes By Sherry Turkle Anxious Quotes By Sherry Turkle](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-sherry-turkle-162700.jpg)
In his history of solitude, Anthony Storr writes about the importance of being able to feel at peace in one's own company. But many find that, trained by the Net, they cannot find solitude even at a lake or beach or on a hike. Stillness makes them anxious. I see the beginnings of a backlash as some young people become disillusioned with social media. There is,. too, the renewed interest in yoga, Eastern religions, meditating, and slowness. — Sherry Turkle
![Anxious Quotes By Sally Hawkins Anxious Quotes By Sally Hawkins](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-sally-hawkins-156397.jpg)
You say something, things you would rather forget, and then they are out there. It makes me anxious and I don't know why people are interested in me anyway. If I had my way, I would rather exist in a little hole and not speak to anyone. — Sally Hawkins
![Anxious Quotes By Donna Tartt Anxious Quotes By Donna Tartt](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-donna-tartt-152221.jpg)
I did not think I could stand a Christmas at my parents' house, with a plastic tree and no snow and the TV going constantly. It was not as if my parent were so anxious to have me, either. In recent years they had fallen in with a gabby, childless couple, older than they were, called the MacNatts. Mr MacNatt was an auto-parts salesman; Mrs MacNat was shaped like a pigeon and sold Avon. — Donna Tartt
![Anxious Quotes By Suze Orman Anxious Quotes By Suze Orman](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-suze-orman-77088.jpg)
Give a portion of your money to others. By releasing an anxious grasp on your money, you will open yourself to receive all that is meant to be yours. — Suze Orman
![Anxious Quotes By Nancy Butler Anxious Quotes By Nancy Butler](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-nancy-butler-90072.jpg)
All have been or believed themselves to be in danger from the pursuit of one they wished to avoid, while they have been anxious for the attentions of someone they wished to please. — Nancy Butler
![Anxious Quotes By Laurie A. Helgoe Anxious Quotes By Laurie A. Helgoe](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-laurie-a-helgoe-184220.jpg)
If a child stays quiet in the context of extroverted friends, or even prefers time alone, a parent may worry and even send her to therapy. She might be thrilled - she'll finally get to talk about the stuff she cares about, and without interruption! But if the therapist concludes that the child has a social phobia, the treatment of choice is to increasingly expose her to the situations she fears. This behavioral treatment is effective for treating phobias - if that is truly the problem. If it's not the problem, and the child just likes hanging out inside better than chatting, she'll have a problem soon. Her "illness" now will be an internalized self-reproach: "Why don't I enjoy this like everyone else?" The otherwise carefree child learns that something is wrong with her. She not only is pulled away from her home, she is supposed to like it. Now she is anxious and unhappy, confirming the suspicion that she has a problem. — Laurie A. Helgoe
![Anxious Quotes By Halldor Laxness Anxious Quotes By Halldor Laxness](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-halldor-laxness-90353.jpg)
Human beings, in point of fact, are lonely by nature, and one should feel sorry for them and love them and mourn with them. It is certain that people would understand one another better and love one another more if they would admit to one another how lonely they were, how sad they were in their tormented, anxious longings and feeble hopes. — Halldor Laxness
![Anxious Quotes By Tove Jansson Anxious Quotes By Tove Jansson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-tove-jansson-182676.jpg)
Now everything was changed. She walked about with cautious, anxious steps, staring constantly at the ground, on the lookout for things that crept and crawled. Bushes were dangerous, and so were sea grass and rain water. There were little animals everywhere. They could turn up between the covers of a book, flattened and dead, for the fact is that creeping animals, tattered animals, and dead animals are with us all our lives, from beginning to end. Grandmother tried to discuss this with her, to no avail. Irrational terror is so hard to deal with. [p. 136] — Tove Jansson
![Anxious Quotes By Robin Marantz Henig Anxious Quotes By Robin Marantz Henig](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-robin-marantz-henig-182444.jpg)
In the modern world, the anxious temperament does offer certain benefits: caution, introspection, the capacity to work alone. These can be adaptive qualities. — Robin Marantz Henig
![Anxious Quotes By Chris Hodges Anxious Quotes By Chris Hodges](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-chris-hodges-182391.jpg)
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7). — Chris Hodges
![Anxious Quotes By Jesus Christ Anxious Quotes By Jesus Christ](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-jesus-christ-180706.jpg)
Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day. — Jesus Christ

I gotta say" - Apollo broke the silence - "these kids did okay." He cleared his throat and began to recite: "Heroes win laurels - "
Um, yes, first class," Hermes interrupted, like he was anxious to avoid Apollo's poetry. — Rick Riordan
![Anxious Quotes By Stephenie Meyer Anxious Quotes By Stephenie Meyer](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-stephenie-meyer-179923.jpg)
Will you be?" I asked, suddenly anxious. "Will you really be here?"
"As long as you want me," he assured me.
"I'll always want you," I warned him. "Forever. — Stephenie Meyer
![Anxious Quotes By Oscar Wilde Anxious Quotes By Oscar Wilde](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-oscar-wilde-178894.jpg)
Why can't these American women stay in their own country? They are always telling us that it is the paradise for women.
It is. That is the reason why, like Eve, they are so excessively anxious to get out of it. — Oscar Wilde
![Anxious Quotes By Shin Kyung-sook Anxious Quotes By Shin Kyung-sook](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-shin-kyung-sook-175235.jpg)
Even though nobody knew that you were in my life, you were the person who brought a raft at every rapid current and helped me cross that water safely. I was happy that you were there. I came to tell you I was able to travel through my life because I could come to you when I was anxious, not when I was happy. — Shin Kyung-sook
![Anxious Quotes By Jeffrey Rosen Anxious Quotes By Jeffrey Rosen](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-jeffrey-rosen-174443.jpg)
Whenever I felt tempted to, I don't know, watch cat videos or bad Netflix TV instead of writing this [Louis] Brandeis biography, I thought of his stern but kindly visage and buckled down and wrote the damn thing, because there's so much information out there, and these are such anxious times in democracy, such unreasonable times. — Jeffrey Rosen
![Anxious Quotes By Jeff Bridges Anxious Quotes By Jeff Bridges](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-jeff-bridges-174440.jpg)
My wife, whenever I'd go off to work and I'd be kind of anxious, she'll say, 'Remember, have fun.' Oh, I forgot, thanks for the reminder. Because sometimes we do forget. We take it all too seriously and there's a lot of joy to be had wherever you are. — Jeff Bridges
![Anxious Quotes By Gautama Buddha Anxious Quotes By Gautama Buddha](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-gautama-buddha-173351.jpg)
Be lamps unto yourselves. Be refuges unto yourselves. Take yourself no external refuge. Hold fast to the truth as a lamp. Hold fast to the truth as a refuge. Look not for a refuge in anyone besides yourselves. And those, Ananda, who either now or after I am dead, Shall be a lamp unto themselves, Shall betake themselves as no external refuge, But holding fast to the truth as their lamp, Holding fast to the truth as their refuge, Shall not look for refuge to anyone else besides themselves, It is they who shall reach to the very topmost height; But they must be anxious to learn. — Gautama Buddha

![Anxious Quotes By Matt Haig Anxious Quotes By Matt Haig](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-matt-haig-204908.jpg)
(It's a weird thing, depression. Even now, writing this with a good distance of fourteen years from my lowest point, I haven't fully escaped. You get over it, but at the same time you never get over it. It comes back in flashes, when you are tired or anxious or have been eating the wrong stuff, and catches you off guard. I woke up with it a few days ago, in fact. I felt its dark wisps around my head, that ominous life-is-fear feeling. But then, after a morning with the best five- and six-year-olds in the world, it subsided. it is now an aside. Something to put brackets around. Life lesson: the way out is never through yourself.) — Matt Haig
![Anxious Quotes By Hagar Kotef Anxious Quotes By Hagar Kotef](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-hagar-kotef-204053.jpg)
But what does the camera monitor? Some cameras today can identify faces (to match the profile of a runaway), body heat (to trigger an alert when detecting an anxious - and thus presumably a suspicious - person) or logos of cars (to identify the economic status of a person, in order to prompt the appropriate advertising on a billboard). But the vast majority of security apparatuses today monitor movement.1 — Hagar Kotef
![Anxious Quotes By A.A. Milne Anxious Quotes By A.A. Milne](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-a-a-milne-203723.jpg)
It's a little Anxious," Piglet said to himself, "to be a
Very Small Animal Entirely Surrounded by Water. Christopher
Robin and Pooh could escape by Climbing Trees, and Kanga could
escape by Jumping, and Rabbit could escape by Burrowing, and
Owl could escape by Flying, and Eeyore could escape by

Making a Loud Noise Until Rescued, and here am I, surrounded by
water and I can't do anything. — A.A. Milne
![Anxious Quotes By Moby Anxious Quotes By Moby](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-moby-203021.jpg)
The solution probably doesn't look like the problem. If we have this propensity to worry, to be anxious, to be depressed, to be angry - focusing on the worry, anxiety, depression, and anger? Probably not gonna be the solution. — Moby
![Anxious Quotes By David Foster Wallace Anxious Quotes By David Foster Wallace](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-david-foster-wallace-77361.jpg)
When they were introduced, he made a witticism, hoping to be liked. She laughed extremely hard, hoping to be liked. Then each drove home alone, staring straight ahead, with the very same twist to their faces.
The man who'd introduced them didn't much like either of them, though he acted as if he did, anxious as he was to preserve good relations at all times. One never knew, after all, now did one now did one now did one. — David Foster Wallace
![Anxious Quotes By Carol Shields Anxious Quotes By Carol Shields](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-carol-shields-200295.jpg)

I'm very anxious not to fall into archaism or 'literary' diction. I want my vocabulary to have a very large range, but the words must be alive. — James Agee
![Anxious Quotes By Stella Chess Anxious Quotes By Stella Chess](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-stella-chess-194891.jpg)
Fathers can seem powerful and overwhelming to their daughters. Let her see your soft side. Express your feelings and reactions. Tell her where you came from and how you got there. Let her see that you have had fears, failures, anxious times, hurts, just like hers, even though you may look flawless to her. — Stella Chess
![Anxious Quotes By Rick Riordan Anxious Quotes By Rick Riordan](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-rick-riordan-193112.jpg)
Dark seams radiated outwards like a shotgun blast of ink, as if Nico's body were trying to expel all the shadows he'd travelled through. Yesterday had been worse: an entire meadow withering, skeletons rising from the earth. Reyna wasn't anxious for that to happen again. — Rick Riordan
![Anxious Quotes By Mark Galli Anxious Quotes By Mark Galli](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-mark-galli-84421.jpg)
The liturgy is the place where we wait for Jesus to show up. We don't have to do much. The liturgy is not an act of will. It is not a series of activities designed to attain a spiritual mental state. We do not have to apply will pressure. To be sure, like basketball or football, it is something that requires a lot of practice
its rhythms do not come naturally except to those who have been rehearsing them for years. On some Sundays the soul will indeed battle to even pay attention. In the normal course of worship, we do not have to conjure up feelings or a devotional mood; we are not required to perform the liturgy flawlessly. Such anxious effort ... blind us to what is really going on.
We do have to show up, and we cannot leave early. But if we will dwell there, remain in place, wait patiently, Jesus will show up. — Mark Galli
![Anxious Quotes By Richard Holloway Anxious Quotes By Richard Holloway](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-richard-holloway-189937.jpg)
This quarrel over the messianic status of Jesus within first-century Judaism had profound effects on Christianity and prompted it towards a fateful turning point that switched the emphasis from following the way of Jesus to believing things about Jesus. Gradually a Christian came to be thought of not as one who lives and acts in a certain way, but as one who holds certain convictions or theories. The trouble with religious convictions or beliefs is that, since we can rarely prove or disprove them, we get anxious about them and start quarrelling with people whose convictions or theories differ from our own. — Richard Holloway
![Anxious Quotes By Rollo May Anxious Quotes By Rollo May](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-rollo-may-186226.jpg)
Tom was anxious about whether he could keep his job at the hospital or would have to go on relief, he exclaimed, "If I could not support my family, I'd as soon jump off the dock." That is, if the value of being a self-respecting wage-earner were threatened, Tom, like the salesman Willie Loman and countless other men in our society, would feel he no longer existed as a self, and might as well be dead. — Rollo May

We decided to read our emails out loud to the group in order to share the warmth and optimism the messages contained. One of the most heartwarming was from the father of Petty Officer Rodney "RaRa" Young of Katy, Texas. His dad got right to the point: "You'd better come home because you promised to help me put up a fence, and I could really use that help." Everyone laughed because the words took us back to the normal world and out of the anxious monotony of our detention. — Shane Osborn

Do they know when we are well and happy? do they know when we recall their memories with the fondest love? In the silent hour of evening the shade of my mother hovers around me; when seated in the midst of my children, I see them assembled near me, as they used to assemble near her; and then I raise my anxious eyes to heaven, and wish she could look down upon us, and witness how I fulfil the promise I made to her in her last moments, to be a mother to her children. — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

And what does a person with such a romantic temperament seek in the study of the classics? He asked this as if, having had the good fortune to catch such a rare bird as myself, he was anxious to extract my opinion while I was still captive in his office.
'If by romantic you mean solitary and introspective,' I said, 'I think romantics are frequently the best classicists.'
He laughed. 'The great romantics are often failed classicists. But that's beside the point, isn't it? — Donna Tartt

The hands-on approach takes an active interest on a very regular basis in the members' work. The hands-off approach trusts team members and recognizes their need for autonomy to carry out their roles, as they see fit. It hinges on their self-motivation. When the leader goes too far with the hands-on approach, he is seen as an anxious and interfering type. If he goes too far hands-off, he is seen as abdicating his responsibility or not being interested. Today, — A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

I crumple, my palm skating along the tree's frozen face as I plop to the ground.
"Alyssa?" Morpheus crouches beside me in an instant. He catches my chin and forces me to look at him. "Are you feeling anemic again?"
I struggle to breathe. It grates inside my chest, like inhaling angry bees. Blood creeps into my throat and gags me.
Morpheus's jeweled markings flash through an anxious kaleidoscope of colors. — A.G. Howard
![Anxious Quotes By Emma Goldman Anxious Quotes By Emma Goldman](https://quotessayings.net/pics/anxious-quote-by-emma-goldman-137878.jpg)
Society considers the sex experiences of a man as attributes of his general development, while similar experiences in the life of a woman are looked upon as a terrible calamity, a loss of honor and of all that is good and noble in a human being. This double standard of morality has played no little part in the creation and perpetuation of prostitution. It involves the keeping of the young in absolute ignorance on sex matters, which alleged "innocence," together with an overwrought and stifled sex nature, helps to bring about a state of affairs that our Puritans are so anxious to avoid or prevent. — Emma Goldman

For the first time in memory, I was unable to sleep not because I was anxious but because I was excited. To live in a damp crowded asshole and sing

I imagine Lent for you and for me as a great departure from the greedy, anxious antineighborliness of our economy, a great departure from our exclusionary politics that fears the other, a great departure from self-indulgent consumerism that devours creation. And then an arrival in a new neighborhood, because it is a gift to be simple, it is a gift to be free; it is a gift to come down where we ought to be. — Walter Brueggemann

Though we have less to worry about than previous generations, we have more worry. Though we have it easier than our forefathers, we have more uneasiness. Though we have less real cause for anxiety than our predecessors, we are inwardly more anxious. — Billy Graham

Of what does the consecrated life consist? Your life is a consecrated one when you are ready at all times to do the will of God - when you are willing and anxious that God may be fully expressed through you, through your thoughts, words, and deeds, during every hour of the day.

The first step: Don't be anxious. Nature controls it all. And before long you'll be no one, nowhere - like Hadrian, like Augustus. The second step: Concentrate on what you have to do. Fix your eyes on it. Remind yourself that your task is to be a good human being; remind yourself what nature demands of people. Then do it, without hesitation, and speak the truth as you see it. But with kindness. With humility. Without hypocrisy. — Marcus Aurelius

[God] is waiting and anxious to pour out blessings, and glory, and honor, and exaltation upon his people, far more than we have ever received, and far more than we are capable of receiving; and the only reason we have not received it long ago is because there was no place found for it. — Erastus Snow

If you do not follow somebody you feel very lonely. Be lonely then. Why are you frightened of being alone? Because you are faced with yourself as you are and you find that you are empty, dull, stupid, ugly, guilty and anxious - a petty, shoddy, secondhand entity.

Of the various executive abilities, no one excited more anxious concern than that of placing the interests of our fellow-citizens in the hands of honest men, with understanding sufficient for their stations. No duty is at the same time more difficult to fulfil. The knowledge of character possessed by a single individual is of necessity limited. To seek out the best through the whole Union, we must resort to the information which from the best of men, acting disinterestedly and with the purest motives, is sometimes incorrect. — Thomas Jefferson

My life had become some sort of sick, twisted game and the winner would be the best player. Marcus playing the part of an anxious concerned parent and I playing the part of an indifferent and sullen teenager. He and I were the only players in this game and for a while, he had defeated me. I was ready to give up and he would have won. That was a moment of true clarity for me. If my life was to be a game, then I'd be damned if I would let Marcus Fairmont win! — Kirsty Dallas

It is in vain that we can predict and control the course of events in the future, unless we know how to live in the present. It is in vain that doctors prolong life if we spend the extra time being anxious to live still longer. It is in vain that engineers devise faster and easier means of travel if the new sights that we see are merely sorted and understood in terms of old prejudices. It is in vain that we get the power of the atom if we are just to continue in the rut of blowing people up. — Alan W. Watts
