Three People You Remember
Trouble happens to everyone.
“Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble.”
– Carl Jung
But don’t worry about it.
“Worry is the interest paid by those who borrow trouble.”
– George Washington
Really. Don’t worry about it.
“Don’t worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
– Jesus, in the 6th chapter of Matthew’s Good News
Because I’ve got this.
“In this world you will have trouble. But be of good cheer! I have overcome the world.”
– Jesus, in the 16th chapter of John’s Good News
And I’m your friend.
“Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.”
– Euripides
Trouble is a searchlight in the darkness that shows you a person’s heart.
“You never forget three people:
the person who helped you in trouble,
the person who left you in trouble,
the person who put you in trouble.”
– Randy Phillips
And sometimes that searchlight is reflected back at you.
“If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn’t sit for a month.”
– Theodore Roosevelt
But finally, the sun rises, morning comes, and it’s a brand-new day.
“Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and repeat to yourself the most comforting words of all: ‘This, too, shall pass.'”
– Ann Landers
