Fatigue is the best pillow.

It is a common experience that a problem difficult at night is resolved in the morning after the committee of sleep has worked on it.

Great is the power of habit. It teaches us to bear fatigue and to despise wounds and pain.

I like to take it easy.

Disease generally begins that equality which death completes.

As a medical doctor, I have known the face of adversity. I have seen much of death and dying, suffering and sorrow. I also remember the plight of students overwhelmed by their studies and of those striving to learn a foreign language. And I recall the fatigue and frustration felt by young parents with children in need.

Musicians are there in front of you, and the spectators sense their tension, which is not the case when you’re listening to a record. Your attention is more relaxed. The emotional aspect is more important in live music.

Living indoors without fresh air quickly poisons the blood and makes people feel tired and seedy when they don’t know why. For myself, I sleep out of doors in winter as well as summer. I only feel tired or seedy when I have been indoors a lot. I only catch cold when I sleep in a room.

Games lubricate the body and the mind.

A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.

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

Encouragement to all women is – let us try to offer help before we have to offer therapy. That is to say, let’s see if we can’t prevent being ill by trying to offer a love of prevention before illness.

My brain and body and nervous system, they see a plane ride, a long plane trip, as an opportunity to sleep with nothing coming in, nothing to do. I just go offline the minute I’m on the plane.

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.

Mind over mattress.

On vacations: We hit the sunny beaches where we occupy ourselves keeping the sun off our skin, the saltwater off our bodies, and the sand out of our belongings.

The purpose of a vacation is to have the time to rest. But many of us, even when we go on vacation, don’t know how to rest. We may even come back more tired than before we left.

Sleep is the interest we have to pay on the capital which is called in at death; and the higher the rate of interest and the more regularly it is paid, the further the date of redemption is postponed.

Acting is just a process of relaxation, actually. Knowing the text so well and trusting that the instinct and the subconscious mind, whatever you want to call it, is going to take over.

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.

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.

Health is the soul that animates all the enjoyments of life, which fade and are tasteless without it.

I make decisions all day, so it’s nice for a woman like me to go to dinner and have the man take the menu and say, ‚Let me order.‘ Other women would be offended by that, but I’m like, ‚Good. Because I can’t make one more decision today.‘ I want someone to rub my feet without being asked.

Running started as a way of relaxing. It’s the only time I have to myself. No phones or e-mails or faxes.

I have allergies, and I’ve had my share of nosebleeds, but that’s usually related to pollen.

Once it gets down to single-digit games, you know the season’s end is approaching, and we’re all pretty physically tired.

I look upon death to be as necessary to our constitution as sleep. We shall rise refreshed in the morning.

I’m very type-A, and many things in my life are about control and domination, but eating should be a submissive experience, where you let down your guard and enjoy the ride.

Man was made at the end of the week’s work, when God was tired.

Sometimes I do need to go to karaoke, sometimes I need to relax.

The gigantic tension before the shooting of an arrow, and the total relaxation seconds later, is my way of connecting to the universe.

Oh, come, Divine Physician, and bind up every broken bone. Come with Thy sacred nard which Thou hast compounded of Thine own heart’s blood, and lay it home to the wounded conscience and let it feel its power. Oh! Give peace to those whose conscience is like the troubled sea which cannot rest.

I love sleep; it’s my favorite.

It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.

Become slower in your journey through life. Practice yoga and meditation if you suffer from ‚hurry sickness.‘ Become more introspective by visiting quiet places such as churches, museums, mountains and lakes. Give yourself permission to read at least one novel a month for pleasure.

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

I love making music. That’s what I love to do. So I don’t feel like there’s any need to take a break unless I want to.

Childhood is the sleep of reason.

I want to lose weight because I want to be focused, meaning healthy.

I’ve never known any trouble than an hour’s reading didn’t assuage.

Nothing is so intolerable to man as being fully at rest, without a passion, without business, without entertainment, without care.

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

The very elements of what constitutes good nursing are as little understood for the well as for the sick. The same laws of health or of nursing, for they are in reality the same, obtain among the well as among the sick.

I take my sleep very, very important.

I am particularly drawn to the form of meditation called Japa. I know it works.

No body can be healthful without exercise, neither natural body nor politic, and certainly, to a kingdom or estate, a just and honourable war is the true exercise.

When I retire I’m going to spend my evenings by the fireplace going through those boxes. There are things in there that ought to be burned.

What keeps me up at night? Anxiety. Anxiety, the inability to go to sleep, it’s quite literally that.

Meditation is a great way to keep my body well-centered while juggling shooting schedules and recording sessions.

I eat next to nothing.

I love being active.

His was a great sin who first invented consciousness. Let us lose it for a few hours.

I have the problems of, I must confess, old age.

Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.

If I relaxed, if I took my foot off the gas, I would probably die.

I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I’m awake, you know?

A feeble body weakens the mind.

Sunday clears away the rust of the whole week.

To describe my scarce leisure time in today’s terms, I always default to reading.

Cure sometimes, treat often, comfort always.

I firmly believe that sleep and recovery are critical aspects of an effective and holistic training program.
