The seven emotions which are most likely to age us are; Envy, Fear, Guilt, Anger, Self-criticism, Pessimism, and Perfectionism
"The most wasted of all days is once in which we do not laugh" - Sebastian Roch Nicholas Chamfort
Now for the quotes...
1. Envy - "Oh how bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes." William Shakespeare
2. Fear - "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." Anais Nin
3. Guilt - "If we are not ashamed to think of it, we should not be ashamed to say it" Marcus Tullius Cicero
4. Anger - "Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one getting burned." Buddha
5. Self-criticism - "Suicide is the most sincere form of self-criticism." Anonymous
6. Pessimism - "Not in the clamour of the crowded street,
Not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng,
But in ourselves, are triumph and defeat." Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
7. Pefectionism - "I think perfectionism is based on the obsessive belief that if you run carefully enough, hitting each stepping-stone just right, you won't have to die." Anne Lamott
