Don’t program yourself to break down as you age with thoughts that decline is inevitable. Time may be passing for our bodies, but because they house our ageless souls, we never need to see ourselves as old and infirm.

I think women want to take care of themselves, and I think having a voice in how that is done is very important.

I first found delight in the Sabbath many years ago when, as a busy surgeon, I knew that the Sabbath became a day for personal healing. By the end of each week, my hands were sore from repeatedly scrubbing them with soap, water, and a bristle brush. I also needed a breather from the burden of a demanding profession.

A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don’t function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick.

Guarding your heart and protecting your dignity are a little bit more important than clarifying the emotions of someone who’s only texting you back three words. I’ve learned that from trying to figure out people who don’t deserve to be figured out.

There is a wisdom in this beyond the rules of physic: a man’s own observation what he finds good of and what he finds hurt of is the best physic to preserve health.

My ultimate goal is to end up being happy. Most of the time.

I don’t take showers at night, because I take a bath when I wake up. Then I go to bed on the most beautiful Egyptian-cotton antique sheets in the world.

I hope the fans have enjoyed listening as much as I’ve enjoyed doing the games. I don’t ever go to the park where I don’t have a good day. I don’t like losing. But I don’t think I ever go to the park where I have a bad day. I don’t think once.

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.

Great acts are made up of small deeds.

To keep oneself safe does not mean to bury oneself.

The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white. Neither need you do anything but be yourself.

If you keep feeling a point that has been sharpened, the point cannot long preserve its sharpness.

I have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel.

I invented my life by taking for granted that everything I did not like would have an opposite, which I would like.

By imposing too great a responsibility, or rather, all responsibility, on yourself, you crush yourself.

It’s not fun to get out of bed early in the morning. When the alarm goes off, it doesn’t sing you a song: it hits you in the head with a baseball bat. So how do you respond to that? Do you crawl underneath your covers and hide? Or do you get up, get aggressive, and attack the day?

While you’re saving your face, you’re losing your ass.

Many of us have been running all our lives. Practice stopping.

I love having an unlimited supply of cocoa butter.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

In order to heal others, we first need to heal ourselves. And to heal ourselves, we need to know how to deal with ourselves.

I just want to retire before I go senile because if I don’t retire before I go senile, then I’ll do more damage than good at that point.

Even when you’re 50, you can make the effort to improve your standards.

When I write, I can shake off all my cares.

It’s so important to realize that every time you get upset, it drains your emotional energy. Losing your cool makes you tired. Getting angry a lot messes with your health.

Believe me, I’m much easier to be around when we win than when we lose.

Use your health, even to the point of wearing it out. That is what it is for. Spend all you have before you die; do not outlive yourself.

I’m addicted to exercising and I have to do something every day.

I love to play music. So why endanger that with something like drugs?

To wear your heart on your sleeve isn’t a very good plan; you should wear it inside, where it functions best.

I was born with a happy heart, and I try to keep a good attitude. It’s not true that I’m happy all the time because nobody is, and we all go through our things.

I like to feel blonde all over.

You have to come to your closed doors before you get to your open doors… What if you knew you had to go through 32 closed doors before you got to your open door? Well, then you’d come to closed door number eight and you’d think, ‚Great, I got another one out of the way’… Keep moving forward.

Beware the hobby that eats.

It’s very important that we re-learn the art of resting and relaxing. Not only does it help prevent the onset of many illnesses that develop through chronic tension and worrying; it allows us to clear our minds, focus, and find creative solutions to problems.

Even if you have a terminal disease, you don’t have to sit down and mope. Enjoy life and challenge the illness that you have.

I wouldn’t ever say if you’re having tough times then there must be something wrong with you or your attitude. Life’s a fight. It’s a good fight of faith. I encourage people to stay up, stay hopeful, stay faith-filled.

As a lifestyle you always being the focal point is innately unhealthy.

You all look like happy campers to me. Happy campers you are, happy campers you have been, and, as far as I am concerned, happy campers you will always be.

If you can’t make it better, you can laugh at it.

With fame, you know, you can read about yourself, somebody else’s ideas about you, but what’s important is how you feel about yourself – for survival and living day to day with what comes up.

I think it does Discworld good if I don’t write about it all the time: sometimes you have to get it out of your system.

I can’t stress to you enough how much I can relate to teens being cyberbullied. Something that helps me is looking at old videos of me and my friends from middle school, or videos of my family. I love watching funny videos of my favorite people – it really cheers me up.

It is foolish to tear one’s hair in grief, as though sorrow would be made less by baldness.

It’s an offseason. These days are valuable for everybody.

Trouble has no necessary connection with discouragement. Discouragement has a germ of its own, as different from trouble as arthritis is different from a stiff joint.

I’m focusing on me. I’m focusing on my family’s security, my family’s financial security, so that’s all I can do.

Everyone has his day and some days last longer than others.

Patience is key for getting over a breakup. That, and trailing off your interaction after the breakup.

I was a grade B housewife, maybe a B minus. But when I got time to write, I would be unable to finish a sentence. I had anxiety attacks. Partly it was a way of personifying the situation because I couldn’t breathe. I was surrounded by people and by duties. I was a housewife and the children’s mother, and I was judged on how I performed those roles.

A day wasted on others is not wasted on one’s self.

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.

Don’t just let the devil use your mind as a garbage dump.

When you go to an oasis, you go there to supply yourself with the vital things you are missing, things that you need.

There are certain shades of limelight that can wreck a girl’s complexion.

My success isn’t a result of arrogance – it’s a result of belief.

You give before you get.

I think every entertainer’s had nights when things go wrong. I mean you can’t remember everything all the time, and especially if you’re having hard times personally, things going on that you – you know, and then people make it worse. And that makes you feel worse.

Every man who possibly can should force himself to a holiday of a full month in a year, whether he feels like taking it or not.
