“Worry is when you choose from millions of possible thoughts, only the few which deal with a potential misfortune or problem.

“I know of a few multimillionaires who started trading with inherited wealth. In each case, they lost it all because they didn't feel the pain when they were losing. In those formative first few years of trading, they felt they could afford to lose. You're much better off going into the market on a shoestring, feeling that you can't afford to lose. I'd rather bet on somebody starting out with a few thousand dollars than on somebody who came in with millions.” KnowsFeelsYearsFirstsFeelingsPainLostFeltLosesWealthMillionsCasesThousandLosingDollarsStartingTradingBetter OffStarting OutInherited Wealth Author:William Eckhardt

“Consider that all these torments of body and soul are without intermission. Be their suffering ever so extreme, be their pain ever so intense, there is no possibility of their fainting away, no, not for one moment ... They are all eye, all ear, all sense. Every instant of their duration it may be said of their whole frame that they are 'Trembling alive all o'er, and smart and agonize at every pore.' And of this duration there is no end ... Neither the pain of the body nor of soul is any nearer an end than it was millions of ages ago.” MaySaidSoulEndsWholeMomentsBodyEyeAgePainSufferingMillionsHellAlivePossibilitySmartEarsExtremesMythologyIntenseInstantTormentTremblingDurationFaintingIntermission Author:John Wesley
