Rebellions of the belly are the worst.

The Roman Curia has its defects, but it seems to me that people often overemphasize its defects and talk too little about the health of the many religious and laypeople who work there.

Part of my daily regime is my glucosamine and, of course, a multitude of multivitamins. Branched-chain amino acids, glutamine, of course protein. I have one protein shake a day, and that is immediately after my training.

I want my food dead. Not sick, not dying, dead.

My son complains about headaches. I tell him all the time, when you get out of bed, it’s feet first!

I have to be on such a strict diet constantly.

Fame and power are the objects of all men. Even their partial fruition is gained by very few; and that, too, at the expense of social pleasure, health, conscience, life.

I was raised in a family where vulnerability was barely tolerated: no training wheels on our bicycles, no goggles in the pool, just get it done. And so I grew up not only with discomfort about my own vulnerability, I didn’t care for it in other people either.

That’s the biggest gift I can give anybody: ‚Wake up, be aware of who you are, what you’re doing and what you can do to prevent yourself from becoming ill.‘

Don’t run if you can walk. Don’t walk if you can stand. Don’t stand if you can sit. Don’t sit if you can lie down.

Not everybody is comfortable with the idea that politics is a guilty addiction. But it is.

Walking is the best possible exercise. Habituate yourself to walk very far.

I tried being reasonable, I didn’t like it.

I can relax with bums because I am a bum. I don’t like laws, morals, religions, rules. I don’t like to be shaped by society.

I think all Americans believe in human rights. And health is an often overlooked aspect of basic human rights. And it’s one that’s easily corrected. The reason I say that is that many of the diseases that we treat around the world, I knew when I was a child. My mother was a registered nurse. And they no longer exist in our country.

Medicine is the restoration of discordant elements; sickness is the discord of the elements infused into the living body.

I make it a rule never to smoke while I’m sleeping.

One of my lungs is half gone, and the other half, because I smoked for years, has a lesion. So I can’t swim anymore and had the swimming pool covered over. Now it’s what I call the dance pavilion, and so I and my friends sit out and put music on and watch people dance.

We have soon to have everywhere smoke annihilators, dust absorbers, ozonizers, sterilizers of water, air, food and clothing, and accident preventers on streets, elevated roads and in subways. It will become next to impossible to contract disease germs or get hurt in the city, and country folk will got to town to rest and get well.

I sometimes wish I were suffering in a good cause, or risking my life for the good of others, instead of just being a gravely endangered patient.

I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind.

He who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything.

I don’t think the ebbs and flows – get in great shape and then get out of shape and then see if you can get back into shape – is a good thing. So I prefer to keep my arm always ready to go.

It’s crazy how fast you get out of shape if you miss a couple days of action.

If there’s something dangerous, sauces are dangerous for the body.

The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don’t want, drink what you don’t like, and do what you’d rather not.

If you want to deal with an epidemic – crime or health – the smartest and most effective and cheapest way to deal with it is prevention first.

I love being active.

Every action has a consequence. It may be good for strengthening. And I have no doubt that lifting a lot of weights can get you stronger. I just don’t know if lifting stronger weights can keep you healthy, or it can keep you doing your job better, especially for a pro athlete.

Methods of thought which claim to give the lead to our world in the name of revolution have become, in reality, ideologies of consent and not of rebellion.

The reason I became 297 pounds is because that was comfortable. What was very uncomfortable was running. What was very uncomfortable was being on a diet. What was very uncomfortable was trying to face things that I didn’t want to face. And I also realized, when I was really big, I had no growth. Why? Because I was living comfortable.

Don’t get old, if you can avoid it.

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

If a woman can, by careful selection of a father and nourishment of herself, produce a citizen with efficient senses, sound organs and a good digestion, she should clearly be secured a sufficient reward for that natural service to make her willing to undertake and repeat it.

The devil has put a penalty on all things we enjoy in life. Either we suffer in health or we suffer in soul or we get fat.

Let me ask you a question: If you never ate a balanced diet, what would happen to your body? You know the answer: Eventually you’d grow weak; you might even open yourself to serious illness or disease. We all need a balanced diet if we are to stay healthy.

I mean, I never liked being told what to do. It’s one of the reasons I dropped out of school.

The AIDS is a disease that is hard to talk about.

Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I’ve done it thousands of times.

There’s nothing like the endorphins from being fit, and the incredible endorphin rush that goes with that.

I never drink coffee at lunch. I find it keeps me awake for the afternoon.

I watched Titanic when I got back home from the hospital, and cried. I knew that my IQ had been damaged.

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.

Without health life is not life; it is only a state of langour and suffering – an image of death.

If you spend your life competing with business men, what do you have? A bank account and ulcers!

Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent. I can tell my children that they don’t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer.

It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

There is in me an anarchy and frightful disorder. Creating makes me die a thousand deaths, because it means making order, and my entire being rebels against order. But without it I would die, scattered to the winds.

When people are connected, we can just do some great things. They have the opportunity to get access to jobs, education, health, communications. We have the opportunity to bring the people we care about closer to us. It really makes a big difference.

Exercise is bunk. If you are healthy, you don’t need it: if you are sick you should not take it.

I am an Addictive Personality, they say, a natural slave to passion – and many Doctors have warned me against it. I am a High-risk Patient.

My son has died of AIDS.

In general, mankind, since the improvement of cookery, eats twice as much as nature requires.

That we are not much sicker and much madder than we are is due exclusively to that most blessed and blessing of all natural graces, sleep.

Cheerfulness is the best promoter of health and is as friendly to the mind as to the body.

When you’re thirteen and listening to punk, the aggressive nature of music can sway you to the dark side.

I’m much healthier now.

Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins.

He who does not mind his belly, will hardly mind anything else.

Those who excel in virtue have the best right of all to rebel, but then they are of all men the least inclined to do so.
