I’m healthy as can be – not an ache or a pain. A lot of my prayer is thanking the Lord that I am healthy. I pray for long life and good health.

I was fortunate and I was lucky that I had a couple of people in my life who cared about me. I had good, loving parents.

Prospering just doesn’t have to do with money.

He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature.

I want to thank The Beatles for almost single-handedly getting me out of writer’s block.

Now I think that going to the gym is the best drug. I go four times a week and it gives me the buzz I need.

Most people do not pray; they only beg.

Every day, the people I meet inspire me… every day, they make me proud… every day they remind me how blessed we are to live in the greatest nation on earth.

All my adult life people have been helping me.

God is speaking to us. But are we listening to Him? When our conscience begins to nudge us for whatever reason, we might have this low-level misery or uneasiness about whatever it is we’ve done or we’re about to do. At times like this, it’s wise to prayerfully consider whether we’re offending God with our actions.

The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.

What is called genius is the abundance of life and health.

I didn’t die young. So I am very lucky. There are other artists and people that didn’t survive certain things… people can imagine that I did the most dangerous, and I did the worst… for many reasons, I shouldn’t be here.

I don’t drink water, haven’t drank water in 40 years.

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.

There is nothing your highest self wants more than peace. This peace makes you feel worthy of all of the richest blessings of the universe, and when you radiate this out into the world, it is returned to you without fail.

Instead of comparing our lot with that of those who are more fortunate than we are, we should compare it with the lot of the great majority of our fellow men. It then appears that we are among the privileged.

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.

Peace in the world starts with peace in oneself. If everyone lives mindfully, everyone will be more healthy, feel more fulfilled in their daily lives and there will be more peace.

Children sweeten labours, but they make misfortunes more bitter.

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

Sometimes, you might meet somebody that you love that’s turning into a ‚they.‘ My key is invite them to Miami and take them to the ocean and let them jump off the boat in the ocean, on the sand bar, and cleanse off and pray and then go take a shower, and hopefully the ‚they‘ is out of you.

There is so much that people take for granted.

I’ve been blessed in that regard through and through. So I’m just thankful for this opportunity to play the game that I love and share that with the world.

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.

I can see, and that is why I can be happy, in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden. I can see a God-made world, not a manmade world.

Spending time with God through prayer and His Word is a prerequisite for having a great life and fulfilling your purpose.

Never take anything for granted.

It is wrong to assume that men of immense wealth are always happy.

The world is indebted for all triumphs which have been gained by reason and humanity over error and oppression.

I don’t want to be too critical of what other people do, but when people go back to do the same thing that they did, I’m completely confused. I’m like, ‚Didn’t you make that movie already?‘ I’ve been very fortunate, and I’m well taken care of, so the least I can do is try to go forward.

Nothing is worth more than this day.

Man gives you the award but God gives you the reward.

Man only likes to count his troubles, but he does not count his joys.

Joy is prayer; joy is strength: joy is love; joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.

I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose.

If you’re a person struggling to eat and stay healthy, you might have heard about Michael Jordan or Muhammad Ali, but you’ll never have heard of Bill Gates.

I have a difficult time sitting down for long periods.

In so far as the mind is stronger than the body, so are the ills contracted by the mind more severe than those contracted by the body.

God has given us two hands – one to receive with and the other to give with. We are not cisterns made for hoarding; we are channels made for sharing.

I have nothing to ask but that you would remove to the other side, that you may not, by intercepting the sunshine, take from me what you cannot give.

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.

I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well.

I love to sit and eat quietly and enjoy each bite, aware of the presence of my community, aware of all the hard and loving work that has gone into my food.

Don’t get old, if you can avoid it.

The equal right of all citizens to health, education, work, food, security, culture, science, and wellbeing – that is, the same rights we proclaimed when we began our struggle, in addition to those which emerge from our dreams of justice and equality for all inhabitants of our world – is what I wish for all.

I’ve done everything every fat person ever has. I’ve tried every diet.

Can people who hunger so desperately for what other people have ever have enough?

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

When I am angry I can pray well and preach well.

It is better for you to be free of fear lying upon a pallet, than to have a golden couch and a rich table and be full of trouble.

A wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings, and learn how by his own thought to derive benefit from his illnesses.

Whenever I’m confused about something, I ask God to reveal the answers to my questions, and he does.

To appreciate the noble is a gain which can never be torn from us.

I’ve taught a lot about prayer over the years and how it is really just talking to God.

My mom was a terrible parent of young children. And thank God – I thank God every time I think of it – I was sent to my paternal grandmother. Ah, but my mother was a great parent of a young adult.

It is not the body’s posture, but the heart’s attitude that counts when we pray.

What is important in life is life, and not the result of life.

What money is better bestowed than that of a schoolboy’s tip? How the kindness is recalled by the recipient in after days! It blesses him that gives and him that takes.

If you truly get in touch with a piece of carrot, you get in touch with the soil, the rain, the sunshine. You get in touch with Mother Earth and eating in such a way, you feel in touch with true life, your roots, and that is meditation. If we chew every morsel of our food in that way we become grateful and when you are grateful, you are happy.

Fill the earth with your songs of gratitude.
