Mark TwainI guess maybe when you get past 70, other people start asking you how you feel.
Clint EastwoodWhen I go to the clinic next and sit with a tube in my arm and watch the poison go in, I’m in an attitude of abject passivity. It doesn’t feel like fighting at all; it just feels like submitting.

Arnold SchwarzeneggerAs the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.

Lao TzuThe healthiest competition occurs when average people win by putting above average effort.

DJ KhaledEverything in excess is opposed to nature.

Johann Wolfgang von GoetheI have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me.
Winston ChurchillSleep 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.
