Nothing in human affairs is worth any great anxiety.

Plato

The setting is a worthy one, if the devil did desire to have a hand in the affairs of men.

Arthur Conan Doyle

Assuredly men of merit are never lacking at any time, for those are the men who manage affairs, and it is affairs that produce the men. I have never searched, and I have always found under my hand the men who have served me, and for the most part I have been well served.

Catherine the Great

In a free society the state does not administer the affairs of men. It administers justice among men who conduct their own affairs.

Walter Lippmann

A ruler of men faces two possible misfortunes: if he employs the worthy, the ministers will use worthiness as a pretext to rob their ruler of his power, but if he promotes men recklessly, his affairs will be neglected, and he will not prevail.

Han Fei

I am nothing if not rational about what is worthy of my anxiety and what is not, and I refuse to live my life as if a giant bus is just around the corner, waiting to crush me the minute I step off the curb.

Deborah Copaken Kogan

Gods are nothing without their worshipers; they act on the affairs and the passions of men.

Janet Morris

Recognize that whether you are worthy or not is all a made-up 'story'...Nothing has meaning except for the meaning we give it...There's no one who comes around and stamps you 'worthy' or 'unworthy'. You do that. You make it up. You decide it...If you say you're worthy, you are. If you say you're not worthy, you're not. Either way you will live into your story.

T. Harv Eker

Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so.

Charles de Gaulle

The hard work, you discover over the years, is in learning to discern between correct and incorrect anxiety, between the anxiety that's trying to warn you about a real danger and the anxiety that's nothing more than a lying, sadistic, unrepentant bully in your head.

Daniel Smith

I know nothing more worthy of a man's ambition than that his son be the best of men.

Plato

On the farm the weather was the great fact, and men's affairs went on underneath it, as the streams creep under the ice.

Willa Cather

Surely human affairs would be far happier if the power in men to be silent were the same as that to speak. But experience more than sufficiently teaches that men govern nothing with more difficulty than their tongues.

Baruch Spinoza

You’re worthy because the Great Spirit, or Universe, or God, or whatever you want to call a higher power, has put you on the earth at this time. There’s nothing else to think about! Since you’re as worthy as the next person, you’re as deserving to receive as anyone else. Anything else that your mind says around that is made up, non-supportive crappola!

T. Harv Eker

The great universal family of men is a utopia worthy of the most mediocre logic.

Comte de Lautreamont

I have withdrawn not only from men, but from affairs, especially my own affairs; I am working for later generations, writing down some ideas that may be of assistance to them.

Seneca the Younger
