My favourite expression of nervousness that I’ve seen is today’s xkcd cartoon: https://xkcd.com/3007/

My favourite expression of calm is Alan Jacobs quoting Oliver Goldsmith: https://social.ayjay.org/2024/11/05/in-evry-government.html

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.
