Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow.
Certainly an interesting quote, though most people who tend to worry may shrug their shoulders - and keep on worrying. What gets me is who said it. When we worry, we may be concerned how long the car will keep on running, or how we're going to "get it all done," or whether our job will be safe for the foreseeable future - and also many smaller things. The person who originated the quote above would have had reason to worry, yet she is essentially saying, "Don't bother worrying. It's no use." 'Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow' was coined by Corrie Ten Boom.
Most likely, the reason she could say this is because she believed what her sister Betsie told her shortly before she died in Ravensbrück concentration camp: "There is no pit so deep that God's love is not deeper still."
