Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 19, Number 66, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 April 1898 — We Ought to Worry a Little. [ARTICLE]

We Ought to Worry a Little.

Don’t join a Don’t Worry Club. Don’t try not to try. While contentment is a pleasing virtue, the people you know who are contented would be better off if they worried more. Absolute contentment and indifference to the possible troubles of to-morrow will lead anyone into the poorhouse. The cow doesn’t worry, neither does the clam. But people are built to worry, and it was intended that they should. On the other hand> if you worry much it will land you in the insans asylum. It is the insane asylum on one hand and the poor farm on the other. The point is to worry just enough to keep out of both of them.
