Let these funny Restlessness Quotes from my large collection of funny quotes about life add a little humor to your day.
We need to find God, and he cannot
be found in noise and restlessness.

Patience is an ever present alternative
to the mind's endemic restlessness and impatience.
Scratch the surface of impatience and what you will find
lying beneath it, subtly or not so subtly, is anger.

and blaming someone (often yourself) or something for it.
This doesn't mean you can't hurry when you have to.
It is possible even to hurry patiently, mindfully,
moving fast because you have chosen to.

A ruffled mind makes a restless pillow.

unless you choose to assume that burden.
