That we are not much sicker and much madder than we are is due exclusively to that most blessed and blessing of all natural graces, sleep.

My rule is to break one sweat a day.

It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.

One good thing about acting in film is that it’s good therapy.

It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.

O! Let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heaven; keep me in temper; I would not be mad!

I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol.

I pay a lot of tax, and I feel, one of the reasons I stay and pay why I’m not based in Monaco… I think my country helped me.

As a cure for worrying, work is better than whiskey.

Joe Frazier got hit more than me – and he doesn’t have Parkinson’s.

I’m just glad I play for Coach Belichick.

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’ve had some dark nights of the soul, of course, but giving in to depression would be a sellout, a defeat.

I’m grateful for the evangelical resurgence we’ve seen across the world in the last half-century or so. It truly has been God’s doing.

Everyone knows nowadays that people ‚have complexes‘. What is not so well known, though far more important theoretically, is that complexes can have us.

I think hygiene is so important.

Satan wants us to constantly focus on everything that is wrong with us and look at how far we still have to go. But God desires for us to rejoice in how far we have already come.

We have an epidemic of insecure people in our society today.

I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual.

Happiness is within the reach of everyone, rich or poor. Yet comparatively few people are happy. I believe the reason for this is that the majority don’t recognize happiness even when it is within their grasp.

I get nervous for everything – literally everything.

God didn’t make me to make movies, flex muscles, buy gold. What you love the most becomes your God… If I never make another dollar, my life is complete.

Do I worry about being in the public eye and raising kids? Yeah. Any situation you’re in, you’re gonna worry about raising kids. But it’s champagne problems, too. There are people who can’t feed their kids.

I never needed much, and I never thought I’d get more than what I had. A trip to Burger King was the biggest thing in the world to me. Heaven.

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.

The human mind is our fundamental resource.

Zappa was very technical and impressed by things that were musically challenging – weird time signatures, strange keys, awkward chord sequences. Zappa was important to me as an example of everything I didn’t want to do. I’m very grateful to him, actually.

I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it’s the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It’s probably the most important thing in a person.

Death is caused by swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time.

There are going to be good days and bad days. Bottom line.

I’m just glad to be feeling better. I really thought I’d be seeing Elvis soon.

We learned about gratitude and humility – that so many people had a hand in our success, from the teachers who inspired us to the janitors who kept our school clean… and we were taught to value everyone’s contribution and treat everyone with respect.

The debt we owe to the play of imagination is incalculable.

If you’re a person struggling to eat and stay healthy, you might have heard about Michael Jordan or Muhammad Ali, but you’ll never have heard of Bill Gates.

Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, and its power of endurance – the cheerful man will do more in the same time, will do it; better, will preserve it longer, than the sad or sullen.

Medicines are only fit for old people.

My doorman is more important to me than any head of any company. He keeps us safe.

Millions of people die every day. Everyone’s got to go sometime. I’ve came by this particular tumor honestly. If you smoke, which I did for many years very heavily with occasional interruption, and if you use alcohol, you make yourself a candidate for it in your sixties.

Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.

Everything we touch in our daily lives, including our body, is a miracle. By putting the kingdom of god in the right place, it shows us it is possible to live happily right here, right now.

Remember happiness doesn’t depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think.

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.

Let me recommend the best medicine in the world: a long journey, at a mild season, through a pleasant country, in easy stages.

Of the blessings set before you make your choice, and be content.

It is possible to live happily in the here and the now. So many conditions of happiness are available – more than enough for you to be happy right now. You don’t have to run into the future in order to get more.

I thank God I’m in a position where I can pick and choose – there are some roles I don’t play.

We all get weary sometimes, and we tend to think that life is what makes us weary.

I say there’re no depressed words just depressed minds.

How much better it would be if all could be more aware of God’s providence and love and express that gratitude to Him.

When we were children we were grateful to those who filled our stockings at Christmas time. Why are we not grateful to God for filling our stockings with legs?

I don’t carry the burden of the past or the madness of the future. I live in the present.

God is not so wary as we, else He would give us no friends, lest we forget Him! The charms of the heaven in the bush are superseded, I fear, by the heaven in the hand, occasionally.

To 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.

What is called genius is the abundance of life and health.

He who does not mind his belly, will hardly mind anything else.

If you give, you will be blessed.
