There are more people dying of malaria than any specific cancer.

It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Sleep 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.

The doctor sees all the weakness of mankind; the lawyer all the wickedness, the theologian all the stupidity.

Connectivity enables transparency for better government, education, and health.

Marathon running, like golf, is a game for players, not winners. That is why Callaway sells golf clubs and Nike sells running shoes. But running is unique in that the world’s best racers are on the same course, at the same time, as amateurs, who have as much chance of winning as your average weekend warrior would scoring a touchdown in the NFL.

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

What some call health, if purchased by perpetual anxiety about diet, isn’t much better than tedious disease.

Whenever a doctor cannot do good, he must be kept from doing harm.

In the brute physical world, and the one encompassed by medicine, there are all too many things that could kill you, don’t kill you, and then leave you considerably weaker.

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.

My son has died of AIDS.

Statistics show that of those who contract the habit of eating, very few survive.

Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong – these are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history.

If he’s got golf clubs in his truck or a camper in his driveway, I don’t hire him.

I don’t think the ebbs and flows – get in great shape and then get out of shape and then see if you can get back into shape – is a good thing. So I prefer to keep my arm always ready to go.

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

My grandfather lived to be late 90s on one side and on the other side, 70s or something. And my father died young, at 63. But he didn’t take very good care of himself.

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.
