Cycling is a joy and faster than many other modes of transport, depending on the time of day. It clears the head.

I think beating myself up sometimes and knowing I am not happy when I do it makes me work harder to do a good job.

Fantasy is an exercise bicycle for the mind. It might not take you anywhere, but it tones up the muscles that can. Of course, I could be wrong.

I say there’re no depressed words just depressed minds.

Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.

I have a little bit of PTSD when I hear a big bang or a loud noise or keys – I jump out of my skin.

Absolute silence leads to sadness. It is the image of death.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

I love driving my car on any highway.

We are going to transform Britain’s rail system from the worst in the world to the best. If you can do a few things like that, when the body gives out, you can say you’ve lived a good life.

We humans have lost the wisdom of genuinely resting and relaxing. We worry too much. We don’t allow our bodies to heal, and we don’t allow our minds and hearts to heal.

My opinion is it’s a bridge too far to go to fully autonomous cars.

Life is grim, and we don’t have to be grim all the time.

Sleep is the best meditation.

There is no austerity equal to a balanced mind, and there is no happiness equal to contentment; there is no disease like covetousness, and no virtue like mercy.

I think ABBA have a pure joy to their music and that’s what makes them extraordinary.

Anger is like a storm rising up from the bottom of your consciousness. When you feel it coming, turn your focus to your breath.

A laugh, to be joyous, must flow from a joyous heart, for without kindness, there can be no true joy.

Learning about climate change triggered my depression in the first place. But it was also what got me out of my depression, because there were things I could do to improve the situation. I don’t have time to be depressed anymore.

Apart from the fact that any hardy exercise conduces much to the training and formation of a soldier, pig-sticking tends to give a man what is called a ‚stalker’s eye,‘ but which, par excellence, is the soldier’s eye.

We are all so much together, but we are all dying of loneliness.

I don’t think people are going to switch over to bikes because it’s good for them or because it’s politically correct. They’re going to do it because it gets them from A to B faster.

Since everything is in our heads, we had better not lose them.

Exercise is labor without weariness.

It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.

It’s been proven by quite a few studies that plants are good for our psychological development. If you green an area, the rate of crime goes down. Torture victims begin to recover when they spend time outside in a garden with flowers. So we need them, in some deep psychological sense, which I don’t suppose anybody really understands yet.

Much unhappiness has come into the world because of bewilderment and things left unsaid.

No matter what, I always make it home for Christmas. I love to go to my Tennessee Mountain Home and invite all of my nieces and nephews and their spouses and kids and do what we all like to do – eat, laugh, trade presents and just enjoy each other… and sometimes I even dress up like Santa Claus!

I can get where some scientists would say comedians are crazy. What you have to understand: A lot of comedians are dealing with a dark passion. A lot of these are guys coming from a tumultuous life, including myself. Some people need outlets, a way to express yourself.

It was morning; through the high window I saw the pure, bright blue of the sky as it hovered cheerfully over the long roofs of the neighboring houses. It too seemed full of joy, as if it had special plans, and had put on its finest clothes for the occasion.

Where fear is, happiness is not.

I really thought I was on the way out. My husband Blake saved my life. Often I don’t know what I do, then the next day the memory returns. And then I am engulfed in shame.

The more in harmony with yourself you are, the more joyful you are and the more faithful you are. Faith is not to disconnect you from reality – it connects you to reality.

The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.

The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!

Idleness is the parent of psychology.

Silence speaks so much louder than screaming tantrums. Never give anyone an excuse to say that you’re crazy.

Off with you! You’re a happy fellow, for you’ll give happiness and joy to many other people. There is nothing better or greater than that!

I spent a lot of years trying to outrun or outsmart vulnerability by making things certain and definite, black and white, good and bad. My inability to lean into the discomfort of vulnerability limited the fullness of those important experiences that are wrought with uncertainty: Love, belonging, trust, joy, and creativity to name a few.

It makes me sad when I find sisters who aren’t joyful. They might smile, but with just a smile they could be flight attendants!

There are going to be good days and bad days. Bottom line.

Always remember that others may hate you but those who hate you don’t win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.

If you’re going to be crazy, you have to get paid for it or else you’re going to be locked up.

The components of anxiety, stress, fear, and anger do not exist independently of you in the world. They simply do not exist in the physical world, even though we talk about them as if they do.

People have different emotional levels. Especially when you’re young.

But by reading them again and again finally I was able to grasp the essential part. What emotion, enthusiasm, enlightenment and confidence they communicated to me! I wept for joy.

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.

As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.

I don’t know how to live good. I only know how to suffer.

The brain is like a muscle. When it is in use we feel very good. Understanding is joyous.

There is no such thing as a pure introvert or extrovert. Such a person would be in the lunatic asylum.

I do the same exercises I did 50 years ago and they still work. I eat the same food I ate 50 years ago and it still works.

The exercise of benevolence is joy to loving hearts: the more pain it costs, the more joy it is. Kind actions make us happy, and in such joy we find communion with the great heart of Jesus.

I don’t believe in ‚thinking‘ old. Although I’ve transitioned through many bodies – a baby, toddler, child, teen, young adult, mid-life and older adult – my spirit is unchanged. I support my body with exercise, my mind with reading and writing, and my spirit with the knowing that I am part of the Divine source of all life.

I’m the slowest driver in the world.
