| 2:04.6 | This last one is probably the most prevalent form of the fear thought, and the worry habit |
| 2:10.6 | has become the great American vice. We are all familiar with this vice, and we must all plead guilty to it. |
| 2:20.2 | We can worry about anything, and I suppose that at some point we have all worried about pretty much everything. |
