When you go to an oasis, you go there to supply yourself with the vital things you are missing, things that you need.

It’s an offseason. These days are valuable for everybody.

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

The best cure for the body is a quiet mind.

A career is wonderful, but you can’t curl up with it on a cold night.

I got my own back.

Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.

We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own ‚to do‘ list.

And later, if I ever felt that I was getting swept away by the craziness of being in a band, well, I’d go back to Virginia.

Beware the hobby that eats.

Sometimes, getting up in the morning and brushing your teeth is the hardest part of the day – it all just hurts.

I never read one hateful thing said about me by some 12 year old. So I got to live an actual life. And I’ve kept that mentality. Just because there’s a hurricane going on around you doesn’t mean you have to open the window and look at it.

Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment.

When a thoughtless or unkind word is spoken, best tune out.

By imposing too great a responsibility, or rather, all responsibility, on yourself, you crush yourself.

We begin to see, therefore, the importance of selecting our environment with the greatest of care, because environment is the mental feeding ground out of which the food that goes into our minds is extracted.

I feel like I want to take care of everyone and I also feel this terrible guilt if I am unable to. And I have felt this way ever since all this success started.

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

Since everything is in our heads, we had better not lose them.

You need to understand what works best for your own body.

I think it does Discworld good if I don’t write about it all the time: sometimes you have to get it out of your system.

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.

Nature is the source of all true knowledge. She has her own logic, her own laws, she has no effect without cause nor invention without necessity.

Just on a practical side, if you wake up early in the morning – like at 4:30 in the morning – you’re going to have some free time to yourself to make things happen, to take care of things that are important to you.

The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.

I know I’m stronger in the songs than I really am. Sometimes I need to hear it myself. We all need to hear those empowering songs to remind us.

A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don’t function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick.

This is love: the flowering of love is meditation.

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

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness.

You will be as much value to others as you have been to yourself.

I do value the respect I get from my contemporaries, but to have Oasis cover my song, to have Puff Daddy cover a song, to have Goldie come along to my gigs – that’s where my ego is at. To have my fellow musicians like what I do, that’s very cool.

With fame, you know, you can read about yourself, somebody else’s ideas about you, but what’s important is how you feel about yourself – for survival and living day to day with what comes up.

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

I’ve always put everybody else’s child first before my own health, before my own outfit, before my own time frame.

I have never felt more confident in myself, more clear on who I am as a woman. But I am constantly thinking about my own health and making sure that I’m eating right and getting exercise and watching the aches and pains. I want to be this really fly 80-90-year old.

It makes no sense to worry about things you have no control over because there’s nothing you can do about them, and why worry about things you do control? The activity of worrying keeps you immobilized.

Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.

I love to play music. So why endanger that with something like drugs?

Man does not live by soap alone; and hygiene, or even health, is not much good unless you can take a healthy view of it or, better still, feel a healthy indifference to it.

Each day provides its own gifts.

Exceptionally hard decisions can deplete your energy to the point at which you finally cave in. If you mentally crumble and degenerate into negative thinking, you’ll magnify the problem to the point where it can haunt you.

Man needs his difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy success.

It’s not called quitting if you quit while you ahead. It’s about being aware and being strategic enough to know that you got to get out the pool at some point. You got to put your clothes back on and dry off.

Don’t just let the devil use your mind as a garbage dump.

I don’t take showers at night, because I take a bath when I wake up. Then I go to bed on the most beautiful Egyptian-cotton antique sheets in the world.

I have never taken any exercise, except sleeping and resting, and I never intend to take any.

When people need love and understanding and support the most is when they deserve it the least.

I like to feel blonde all over.

If a man be gloomy let him keep to himself. No one has the right to go croaking about society, or what is worse, looking as if he stifled grief.

However great may be the work for which we are responsible, we will always do well if we pause to spend time in sacred praise.

I’ve tried everything. I’ve done therapy, I’ve done colonics. I went to a psychic who had me running around town buying pieces of ribbon to fill the colors in my aura. Did the Prozac thing.

Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day’s own trouble be sufficient for the day.

Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength.

Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.

I can’t stress to you enough how much I can relate to teens being cyberbullied. Something that helps me is looking at old videos of me and my friends from middle school, or videos of my family. I love watching funny videos of my favorite people – it really cheers me up.

In the course of history, men come to see that iron necessity is neither iron nor necessary.

Never get out of bed before noon.

To wear your heart on your sleeve isn’t a very good plan; you should wear it inside, where it functions best.

Habit converts luxurious enjoyments into dull and daily necessities.
