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

There was never a child so lovely but his mother was glad to get him to sleep.

If you can’t sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It’s the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.

I guess maybe when you get past 70, other people start asking you how you feel.

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.

It 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.

Disease is the retribution of outraged Nature.

My doctor told me I shouldn’t work out until I’m in better shape. I told him, ‚All right; don’t send me a bill until I pay you.‘

I have become vegan – I don’t take dairy or meat. It has helped me a lot in terms of recovery and digestion.

Medicine heals doubts as well as diseases.

I’m a golfer, and what are the two sports you can do till you drop? Golf and surfing. They’re great for you limber-wise, they’re great for you health-wise, and they put you in sweet locations.

Men who are unhappy, like men who sleep badly, are always proud of the fact.

I am an Addictive Personality, they say, a natural slave to passion – and many Doctors have warned me against it. I am a High-risk Patient.

Water, taken in moderation, cannot hurt anybody.

Chemotherapy 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.‘

I don’t sleep much. I don’t sleep much – I work, I work, I work.

Rebellions of the belly are the worst.

When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.

Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.

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

Water is life, and clean water means health.

To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.

Not many people come through esophageal cancer and live to talk about it, or not for long.

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.

I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol.

As long as your body is healthy and under control and death is distant, try to save your soul; when death is immanent what can you do?

I think it’s horrible that people have to be told. Don’t smoke! Everybody knows it’s bad for the health. But they have to forbid it.

I think hygiene is so important.

One 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.

I think all Americans believe in human rights. And health is an often overlooked aspect of basic human rights. And it’s one that’s easily corrected. The reason I say that is that many of the diseases that we treat around the world, I knew when I was a child. My mother was a registered nurse. And they no longer exist in our country.

We have soon to have everywhere smoke annihilators, dust absorbers, ozonizers, sterilizers of water, air, food and clothing, and accident preventers on streets, elevated roads and in subways. It will become next to impossible to contract disease germs or get hurt in the city, and country folk will got to town to rest and get well.

There is one thing I have never taught my body how to do and that is to figure out at 6 A.M. what it wants to eat at 6 P.M.

He who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything.

I’ve had quite a lot of luck with dreams. I’ve often awoken in the night with a phrase or even a whole song in my head.

I have a difficult time sitting down for long periods.

God 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.

Science and mindfulness complement each other in helping people to eat well and maintain their health and well-being.

How young can you die of old age?

Let me ask you a question: If you never ate a balanced diet, what would happen to your body? You know the answer: Eventually you’d grow weak; you might even open yourself to serious illness or disease. We all need a balanced diet if we are to stay healthy.

Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

I would love to encourage all my teammates to eat the best way they possibly can. High school athletes. Now, that’s not the way our food system in America is set up. It’s very different. They have a food pyramid, and I disagree with that. I disagree with a lot of things that people tell you to do.

I’ve had two cancer bouts in my years on the Court, and the first one, Justice O’Connor told me, ‚Now, you do the chemotherapy on Friday because you’ll get over it during the weekend and you can be back in court on Monday.‘

I never drink coffee at lunch. I find it keeps me awake for the afternoon.

There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered hope.

I sleep people. I put people unconscious. I’m stating facts.

We all knew this. We all knew that it would take more time than any of us want to dig ourselves out of this hole created by this economic crisis.

Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.

I don’t exercise.

The health of the eye seems to demand a horizon. We are never tired, so long as we can see far enough.

At the beginning when the child is coming, people worry the child may be deformed. When a healthy boy or child comes, people are very happy for a short moment.

Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.

I watched Titanic when I got back home from the hospital, and cried. I knew that my IQ had been damaged.

The health of the people is really the foundation upon which all their happiness and all their powers as a state depend.

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

I worked out a lot before I was 20. I was hard underneath. I had just a little padding. I was quilted. Always Chanel.

From 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.

I don’t think people should be encouraged to look like Kate Moss; I think that’s unreasonable. I think the normal human body should be glorified. By the same token, if you need a stick to wash yourself, you’re not healthy.

I, personally, think there is a really danger of taking food too seriously. Food should be part of the bigger picture.

This President is going to lead us out of this recovery.

My gold, my money couldn’t stop cancer from appearing on my body. If they can’t save me, then I don’t need them.

Getting out of the hospital is a lot like resigning from a book club. You’re not out of it until the computer says you’re out of it.
