Worry: Interest we pay on trouble before it is due.
John Garland Pollard
Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.
Benjamin Franklin

Michael Franti
From Aristophanes to Aristotle, the attack on the demagogues always falls back on the one central question: in whose interest does the the leader lead?
Moses I. Finley
Let's not worry about what somebody reading the code tomorrow is going to think. Let's not worry about whether it's efficient. Let's not even worry about whether it will work. Let's just write the simplest thing that could possibly work.
Ward Cunningham
