Quote by George Washington

Worry is the interest paid by those who borrow trouble.

Worry is the interest paid by those who borrow trouble.

Summary

This quote suggests that worry is like paying interest on borrowed troubles. In other words, worrying about things that haven't happened or may never happen is a waste of time and energy. It implies that individuals who constantly worry are needlessly burdening themselves with imaginary or potential problems. Just like borrowing money incurs interest, worrying about troubles that haven't yet materialized creates unnecessary stress and anxiety, often without any productive outcome. The quote encourages people to redirect their focus and energies towards more constructive and present-moment concerns.
