May you find inspiration in these thoughts and quotes on Pressure from my large Daily Inspiration library of inspiring quotes and inspirational words.

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.
- Dale Carnegie

A man does what he must - in spite of personal consequences,
