Sunil ChhetriI have the problems of, I must confess, old age.
Billy GrahamI regarded finding I had a form of Alzheimer’s as an insult and decided to do my best to marshal any kind of forces I could against this wretched disease. I have posterior cortical atrophy or PCA. They say, rather ingenuously, that if you have Alzheimer’s it’s the best form of Alzheimer’s to have.
Terry PratchettWe have food all around us all the time, and if we haven’t eaten for three hours, we think we’re starving. You’re not starving – human beings can go for 30 days without food.
Jocko WillinkSleep is all about recovering. So if you’re not sleeping, you’re not recovering. And if you’re going to break your body down a lot, you better find ways to build it back up. And the only way to do that is get a lot of sleep. So for me, I go to bed at like 8:30, 9:00. As soon as I put my kids to bed. Because I’m up at 5:30 the next day.
Tom BradyI believe that the greatest gift you can give your family and the world is a healthy you.
Joyce MeyerI love being active.
Dolly PartonI’ve met some Evertonians in the street, and they’ve been friendly. I’ve had taxi drivers who have been Everton fans. They’ve been really nice.
Jurgen KloppWhen I go to the clinic next and sit with a tube in my arm and watch the poison go in, I’m in an attitude of abject passivity. It doesn’t feel like fighting at all; it just feels like submitting.
Christopher HitchensThe first wealth is health.
Ralph Waldo EmersonLet man live at a distance from God, and the universe remains neutral or hostile to him. But let man believe in God, and immediately all around him the elements, even the irksome, of the inevitable organize themselves into a friendly whole, ordered to the ultimate success of life.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinCancer victimhood contains a permanent temptation to be self-centred and even solipsistic.
Christopher HitchensThe chief condition on which, life, health and vigor depend on, is action. It is by action that an organism develops its faculties, increases its energy, and attains the fulfillment of its destiny.
Colin PowellHealth is the soul that animates all the enjoyments of life, which fade and are tasteless without it.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaTo enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
BuddhaI think for my bones and my size, I better stay with my 60 kilo.

Ruth Bader GinsburgI eat next to nothing.
Karl LagerfeldSome animals are cunning and evil-disposed, as the fox; others, as the dog, are fierce, friendly, and fawning. Some are gentle and easily tamed, as the elephant; some are susceptible of shame, and watchful, as the goose. Some are jealous and fond of ornament, as the peacock.
AristotleThe 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.
Fidel CastroChemotherapy isn’t good for you. So when you feel bad, as I am feeling now, you think, ‚Well that is a good thing because it’s supposed to be poison. If it’s making the tumor feel this queasy, then I’m OK with it.‘
Christopher HitchensI really, truly believe that writing comes out of the body; of course, the mind is working as well, but it’s a double thing and that doubleness is united. I mean, you can’t separate persona from psyche; you just can’t do it.
Paul AusterThe greatest of follies is to sacrifice health for any other kind of happiness.
Arthur SchopenhauerOne 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.
Maya AngelouI watched Titanic when I got back home from the hospital, and cried. I knew that my IQ had been damaged.

Gilbert K. ChestertonMy dad is a Chatty Cathy, the social butterfly; friendly; knows everybody in the whole world by six degrees; tells me that every performance is the greatest he’s ever seen, every new outfit is the coolest. Constant cheerleader.
Taylor SwiftIt seems that when you have cancer you are a brave battler against the disease, but when you have Alzheimer’s you are an old fart. That’s how people see you. It makes you feel quite alone.
Terry PratchettNutrition is so important. It can’t be stressed enough.
Dwayne JohnsonHe who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything.
Thomas CarlyleGod has already done everything He’s going to do. The ball is now in your court. If you want success, if you want wisdom, if you want to be prosperous and healthy, you’re going to have to do more than meditate and believe; you must boldly declare words of faith and victory over yourself and your family.
Joel OsteenMusic when healthy, is the teacher of perfect order, and when depraved, the teacher of perfect disorder.
John RuskinYou can live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to live to be a hundred.

Lou HoltzTouring is hard on the body.
EminemContrary to popular belief, I don’t spend a whole lot of time following soccer. But as I have traveled around the world to better understand global development and health, I’ve learned that soccer is truly universal. No matter where I go, that’s what kids are playing. That’s what people are talking about.
Bill Gates
