Pressure Quotes

I hope you find great value in these Quotes about Pressure from my large collection of inspirational quotes and motivational sayings.

When we hate our enemies, we are
giving them power over us:
power over our sleep, our appetites,
our blood pressure, our health, and our happiness.
Our enemies would dance with joy if only
they knew how they were worrying us,
lacerating us, and getting even with us!
Our hate is not hurting them at all,
but our hate is turning our own days
and nights into a hellish turmoil.

who are under a great deal of stress,
