“What happened in the past that was painful has a great deal to do with what we are today.”
“I've experienced a great deal of pain and suffering in my life ...... most of which has never happened.”
“All we have to face in the future is what has happened in the past. It is unbearable.”
“A great deal of fear is a result of just “not knowing.” We do not know what is involved in a new situation. We do not know whether we can deal with it. The sooner we learn what it entails, the sooner we can dissolve our fear.”
“[A] great deal of what we believe we do not know firsthand; instead we have faith in the knowledge of specialists.”
“It's not so much what happens to us but how we deal with what happens to us.”
