I was being trained because I wanted to be a preacher like my father. I wanted to talk about Moses; I wanted to talk about God… I wanted to talk about the apostles, the disciples and all that.
Mr. TTraining is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
Mark TwainIgnorance of all things is an evil neither terrible nor excessive, nor yet the greatest of all; but great cleverness and much learning, if they be accompanied by a bad training, are a much greater misfortune.
PlatoI have tennis shoes with little rhinestones that I slip on if I exercise. But I always wear heels, even around the house. I’m such a short little thing, I can’t reach my kitchen cabinets.
Dolly PartonI’ve been running a lot, taking care of myself.
EminemIt was easy being healthy when I was young. I was full of energy, so sports and physical challenges were fun. But as I got older and the spring left my step, exercise became harder, and eating, drinking and watching TV became easier. By the time I was 50, I’d put on 50 pounds.

Noam ChomskyConfidence comes from discipline and training.
Robert KiyosakiFor different roles, my condition and training and diet does alter. Depending on the role, it will really dictate the type of training I do.
Dwayne JohnsonI hated every minute of training, but I said, ‚Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.‘
Muhammad AliLook at our society. Everyone wants to be thin, but nobody wants to diet. Everyone wants to live long, but few will exercise. Everybody wants money, yet seldom will anyone budget or control their spending.
John C. MaxwellJust do some kind of workout. Doesn’t matter if it’s going for a walk around the block, going for a jog, doing some calisthenics, lifting weights, going to a pool and swimming – you name it. But do something that gets your blood flowing and gets your mind in the game.
Jocko WillinkPanic plays no part in the training of a nurse.
Elizabeth KennyI’m not a health freak. I just work out every day.
Anthony HopkinsCycling is a joy and faster than many other modes of transport, depending on the time of day. It clears the head.
David ByrneExercise is bunk. If you are healthy, you don’t need it: if you are sick you should not take it.
Henry FordI will fight in many weight divisions.
Conor McGregorAt the end of 2003, my game was complete. Shooting, defense, using the dribble, transition, midrange stuff was all there. Then it was about fine-tuning and trying to improve in each area.
Kobe BryantIf you try and work out at 4:30 in the afternoon, how many people are going to chip away at that time? Your boss, your job, your work, your family, your other obligations that you might have. At 4:30 in the morning, all those people are asleep, so you can do whatever you want.
Jocko WillinkIn the ’60s and ’70s and early ’80s, the trainers would grind you, and eventually they would break something – they would break an ankle in ways that it would heal. It was just the way of the business, to ensure that you learned respect for wrestling.
Dwayne JohnsonApart 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.
Robert Baden-PowellI have never felt more confident in myself, more clear on who I am as a woman. But I am constantly thinking about my own health and making sure that I’m eating right and getting exercise and watching the aches and pains. I want to be this really fly 80-90-year old.
Michelle ObamaOur growing softness, our increasing lack of physical fitness, is a menace to our security.
John F. KennedyMy rule is to break one sweat a day.
Matthew McConaugheyI did 20 years in the Navy. I joined the Navy right out of high school and went through Navy boot camp, went to SEAL training, got done with that, and then showed up at a SEAL team, where I did 20 years. That was pretty much my whole adult life.
Jocko WillinkEvery man prefers belief to the exercise of judgment.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaDo I have chocolate chip cookies? Yes, I do. Do I have mint chocolate chip milkshakes? Yes, I do. I love them. They are fantastic. But when I have them, they’re worth it. I earned them. I did something. I worked out super hard. I stayed clean on food.
Jocko WillinkSome people, they take their form of working out as a religion that they think is better than everyone else’s. I’m not like that. If you have a better way to work out, and you can teach it to me, and I find it to be useful and gets me in better shape, I’m all about.
Jocko WillinkWhy did I become Jackie Chan? Mostly because I work very hard. When people were sleeping, I was still training.

Kamala HarrisWhat makes you a SEAL, what makes you a SEAL is being a good tactician on the battle field, understanding how to shoot, move, and communicate, knowing small unit maneuver warfare. That’s what makes a good SEAL, and so that is the course of instruction that I taught, was getting SEAL platoons ready for deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Jocko WillinkWithout exercise, I don’t feel like my head works right.
Matthew McConaugheyIf you have religious faith, very good, you can add on secular ethics, then religious belief, add on it, very good. But even those people who have no interest about religion, okay, it’s not religion, but you can train through education.
Dalai LamaThe only time my records are going to be broken is by my own spawn. I’m going be training that child out the womb.
Conor McGregorFrom the moment I open my eyes, I’m trying to free my body. I’m trying to get looser, more flexible, to gain control. Movement is medicine to me.
Conor McGregorI have a punishing workout regimen. Every day I do 3 minutes on a treadmill, then I lie down, drink a glass of vodka and smoke a cigarette.
Anthony HopkinsPart 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.
Dwayne JohnsonIf we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.

Friedrich NietzscheTraining and resting takes up most of my time.
Sunil ChhetriWalking is man’s best medicine.
HippocratesWhen I inspire myself, I want to spread the word because its important to be healthy. I don’t think they’re teaching us enough about that. I think we should eat better and exercise.

DJ KhaledI have been brought up and trained to have the utmost contempt for people who get drunk.
Winston ChurchillFor me, training is my meditation, my yoga, hiking, biking all rolled into one. Wake up early in the morning, generally around 4 o’clock, and I’ll do my cardio on an empty stomach. Stretch, have a big breakfast, and then I’ll go train.
Dwayne JohnsonExercise is really important to me – it’s therapeutic. So if I’m ever feeling tense or stressed or like I’m about to have a meltdown, I’ll put on my iPod and head to the gym or out on a bike ride along Lake Michigan with the girls.
Michelle ObamaThe only reason I would take up jogging is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

Marilyn MonroeThe Center for Disease Control started out as the malaria war control board based in Atlanta. Partly because the head of Coke had some people out to his plantation, and they got infected with malaria, and partly ‚cause all the military recruits were coming down and having a higher fatality rate from malaria while training than in the field.
Bill GatesLearning to live for others isn’t something that just comes naturally to anybody. You have to train yourself to do it.
Joyce MeyerI really love training and being in good shape, and it’s so much a part of my life now, so it never really feels like work to me.

Conor McGregorI am not someone who does a lot of exercise, so I attempt to maintain some sort of rhythm, and I think the jump rope is the funnest way. It’s easy, you can do it in your room or anywhere.
