I want to point out that you saying "it's easier to come up with clever quotes and cliches than to put worry away" in response to a quotation from me sounds like you are belittling my response, not thanking me. I hope this was not your intent.
I don't "come up with clever quotes and cliches." I am studying Stoicism and Senecca is a major Stoic figure. I think the thing about quotes (as opposed to cliches) is that they often succintly encapsulate something we know to be true but have not put into words ourselves.
And as I indicated, I struggle with worry myself. It helps me to think of how people I admire dealt with worry.
Peace
