My favourite expression of nervousness that I’ve seen is today’s xkcd cartoon: xkcd.com/3007
My favourite expression of calm is Alan Jacobs quoting Oliver Goldsmith: social.ayjay.org/2024/1…
In ev’ry government, though terrors reign,
Though tyrant kings, or tyrant laws restrain,
How small of all that human hearts endure,
That part which laws or kings can cause or cure.
