I sometimes suspect that half our difficulties are imaginary and that if we kept quiet about them they would disappear.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If I had my life to live over, I would perhaps have more actual troubles but I'd have fewer imaginary ones.
It is a queer thing, but imaginary troubles are harder to bear than actual ones.
We only think when we are confronted with problems.
Many difficulties which nature throws in our way, may be smoothed away by the exercise of intelligence.
I think we have a cultural difficulty with looking at our problems.
Every great and deep difficulty bears in itself its own solution. It forces us to change our thinking in order to find it.
Difficulties are things that show a person what they are.
I think we often live at a surface level, and that ends up with us in a lot of difficulty because we just function on assumptions and secondhand knowledge.
I cannot explain it; but when difficulties arise, I am not perplexed or doubtful. I know how to meet them.
Imaginary obstacles are insurmountable. Real ones aren't.
