COMPLETE QUOTATIONS ON
HEALTH
Happiness is nothing more
than good health and a bad memory.
Albert Schweitzer
The only way to keep your
health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what
you'd rather not.
Mark Twain
Every human being is the
author of his own health or disease.
Buddha
He who has health, has
hope. And he who has hope, has everything.
Proverb
It is health that is real
wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.
Mahatma Gandhi
Health is the greatest
gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.
Buddha
To wish to be well is a
part of becoming well.
Seneca
Leave all the afternoon for
exercise and recreation, which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say
more necessary because health is worth more than learning.
Thomas Jefferson
The first wealth is health.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sex without love is merely
healthy exercise.
Robert A. Heinlein
A man too busy
to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his
tools.
Spanish Proverb
So many people
spend their health gaining wealth, and then have to spend their wealth to regain
their health.
J. Reb Materi
Health is the
first muse, and sleep is the condition to produce it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Early to bed,
early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
Benjamin Franklin
A man's health
can be judged by which he takes two at a time - pills or stairs.
Joan Welsh
In health there
is freedom. Health is the first of all liberties.
Henri Frederic Amiel
To keep the
body in good health is a duty, for otherwise we shall not be able to trim the
lamp of wisdom, and keep our mind strong and clear. Water surrounds the lotus
flower, but does not wet its petals.
Buddha
Wisdom is to
the soul what health is to the body.
De Saint-Real
If taking vitamins doesn't
keep you healthy enough, try more laughter: The most wasted of all days is that
on which one has not laughed.
Nicolas-Sebastien Chamfort
It is not work that kills
men; it is worry. Work is healthy; you can hard put more upon a man than he can
bear. Worry is rust upon the blade. It is not the revolution that destroys the
machinery, but the friction. Fear secrets acids; but love and trust are sweet
juices.
Henry Ward Beecher
It may be possible to
incorporate laugher into daily activities, just as is done with other
heart-healthy activities, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator. The
recommendation for a healthy heart may one day be exercise, eat right and laugh
a few times a day.
Michael Mille
Imagination is not a talent
of some men but is the health of every man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
True friendship is like
sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost.
Charles Caleb Colton
The healthy, the strong
individual, is the one who asks for help when he needs it. Whether he has an
abscess on his knee or in his soul.
Eubie Blake
Take care of your body
with steadfast fidelity. The soul must see through these eyes alone, and if they
are dim, the whole world is clouded.
Heave
The human body has been
designed to resist an infinite number of changes and attacks brought about by
its environment. The secret of good health lies in successful adjustment to
changing stresses on the body.
Arthur Murphy
The human body is not a thing or substance, given, but a continuous creation.
The human body is an energy system which is never a complete structure; never
static; is in perpetual inner self-construction and self-destruction; we destroy
in order to make it new.
Thomas Arnold Mindell
The more I work with the
body, keeping my assumptions in a temporary state of reservation, the more I
appreciate and sympathize with a given disease. The body no longer appears as a
sick or irrational demon, but as a process with its own inner logic and wisdom.
Tom Robbins
Just as your car runs more
smoothly and requires less energy to go faster and farther when the wheels are
in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions,
goals, and values are in balance.
Joan Welsh
Changing our diet is something we choose to do, not something we are forced to
do. Instead of dreading it, try saying, "Here's another thing I get to do to
help myself. Great!"
Harold Brodkey
Athletes have studied how to leap and how to survive the leap some of the time
and return to the ground. They don't always do it well. But they are our
philosophers of actual moments and the body and soul in them, and of our
maneuvers in our emergencies and longings.
Jimmy Connors
Use it or lose it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Intellectual tasting of life will not supersede muscular activity.
David Mccord
Exercise: you don't have
time not to.
Henry Ward Beecher
To array a man's will against his sickness is the supreme art of medicine.
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
We have to ask ourselves whether medicine is to remain a humanitarian and
respected profession or a new but depersonalized science in the service of
prolonging life rather than diminishing human suffering.
Sir William Osler
The desire to take medicine is perhaps the greatest feature which distinguishes
man from animals.
He who has health, has hope; and he
who has hope, has everything.
Arabian Proverb
Some people think that doctors and
nurses can put scrambled eggs back into the shell.
Dorothy Canfield Fisher
It is a wearisome disease to
preserve health by too strict a regimen.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
There's a lot of people in this world who spend so much time watching their
health that they haven't the time to enjoy it.
Josh Billings
Disease is a physical process
that generally begins that equality which death completes.
Samuel Johnson
The diseases of the present have
little in common with the diseases of the past save that we die of them.
Agnes Repplier
We classify disease as error,
which nothing but Truth or Mind can heal.
Mary Baker Eddy
A person's age is not dependent
upon the number of years that have passed over his head, but on the number of
colds that have passed through it.
Shirley W. Wynne
There are no such things as
incurables; there are only things for which man has not found a cure.
Bernard M. Baruch
A bodily disease may be but a
symptom of some ailment in the spiritual past.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Disease is the retribution of
outraged Nature.
Hosea Ballou
The fear of life is the favorite
disease of the twentieth century.
William Lyon Phelps
Sickness and disease are in weak
minds the sources of melancholy; but that which is painful to the body, may be
profitable to the soul. Sickness puts us in mind of our mortality, and, while we
drive on heedlessly in the full career of worldly pomp and jollity, kindly pulls
us by the ear, and brings us to a proper sense of our duty.
Richard E. Burton
We
are the carriers of health and disease-either the divine health of courage and
nobility or the demonic diseases of hate and anxiety.
Joshua Loth Liebman
Our mental and emotional
diets determine our overall energy levels, health and well-being more than we
realize. Every thought and feeling, no matter how big or small, impacts our
inner energy reserves.
Doc Children
There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.
Mother Teresa
Heartfelt positive feelings
create far more than a healthy psychological effect. They fortify our internal
energy systems and nourish the body right down to the cellular level. For that
reason, we like to think of these emotions as "quantum nutrients."
Doc Childre and
Howard Martin
If your thoughts are
thoughts that draw low-frequency energy current to you, your physical and
emotional attitudes will deteriorate, and emotional or physical disease will
follow, whereas thoughts that draw high-frequency energy current to you create
physical and emotional health.
Gary Zukav
Our mental and emotional diets determine our overall energy levels, health, and
well-being to a far greater extent than most people realize. Every thought and
feeling, no matter how big or small, impacts our inner energy reserves.
Doc Childre and Howard Martin
Think of great athletes of
dancers who are able to create a special, relaxed state of mental and physical
focus in order to achieve a much higher level of performance. Now you can employ
that exact principle with any mental or emotional activity. And the benefit to
your heart is phenomenal.
Freeze-Frame
A healthy, balanced ego expression allows you to perceive a true picture of
yourself and builds a solid foundation of security. A balanced ego expression
would mean appreciating yourself not just when things are going well, but
especially at those times when you slip backward. Appreciate yourself for
whatever progress you've made, then use that energy of appreciation to move
forward. To dwell in poor-me attitudes or pitiful feelings is inverted vanity.
It's a convenient hiding place, but it's still vanity. You can waste enormous
amounts of energy in inverted vanity, creating reasons why you or others are to
be blamed for something that happened that left you feeling victimized and
powerless.
Doc Childre
Imagine life as a game in
which you are juggling five balls in the air. You name them - work, family,
health, friends, and spirit - and you're keeping all of these in the air. You
will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce
back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends, and spirit are made of
glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked,
nicked, damaged, or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must
understand that and strive for balance in your life.
Brian Dyson
We are coming to understand
health not as the absence of disease, but rather as the process by which
individuals maintain their sense of coherence (i.e. sense that life is
comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful) and ability to function in the face
of changes in themselves and their relationships with their environment.
Aaron Antonovsky
The thousand mysteries
around us would not trouble but interest us, if only we had cheerful, healthy
hearts.
Friedrich Wilhelm
Nietzsche
A sad soul can kill you quicker than a germ.
John Steinbeck
Love cures people — both
the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.
Dr. Karl Menninger
When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot manifest,
strength cannot fight, wealth becomes useless, and intelligence cannot be
applied.
Health is the thing that
makes you feel that now is the best time of the year.
Franklin P. Adams
The concept of total
wellness recognizes that our every thought, word, and behavior affects our
greater health and well-being. And we, in turn, are affected not only
emotionally but also physically and spiritually.
Greg Anderson'
To get rich never risk your
health. For it is the truth that health is the wealth of wealth.
Richard Baker
As a remedy against all
ills; poverty, sickness, and melancholy only one thing is absolutely necessary;
a liking for work.
Charles Baudelaire
From labor health, from
health contentment springs.
Melody Beattie
It's not the work which
kills people, it's the worry. It's not the revolution that destroys machinery
it's the friction.
Henry Ward Beecher
There's lots of people who
spend so much time watching their health, they haven't got time to enjoy it.
Josh Billings
Energy is eternal delight.
William Blaker
Refuse to be ill. Never
tell people you are ill; never own it to yourself. Illness is one of those
things which a man should resist on principle at the onset.
Edward G.
Bulwer-Lytton
Any idiot can face a
crisis, it's the day to day living that wears you out.
Anton Chekhov
Money is the most envied,
but the least enjoyed. Health is the most enjoyed, but the least envied.
Charles Caleb Colton
You have to stay in shape.
My grandmother, she started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97
today and we don't know where the hell she is.
Ellen Degeneres
The health of the people is
really the foundation upon which all their happiness and all their powers as a
state depend.
Benjamin Disraeli
You can set yourself up to
be sick, or you can choose to stay well.
Wayne Dyer
Give me health and a day,
and I will make the pomp of emperors ridiculous.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Health is the condition of
wisdom, and the sign is cheerfulness -- an open and noble temper.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you don't do what's best
for your body, you're the one who comes up on the short end.
Julius Erving
I've never felt better.
Douglas Fairbanks
By the time we've made it,
we've had it.
Malcolm S. Forbes
Nothing is more fatal to
health than an over care of it.
Benjamin Franklin
To lengthen thy Life,
lessen thy meals.
Benjamin Franklin
I have never yet met a
healthy person who worried very much about his health, or a really good person
who worried much about his own soul.
John B. S. Haldane
A bodily disease which we
look upon as whole and entire within itself, may, after all, be but a symptom of
some ailment in the spiritual part.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
As we free our breath
(through diaphragmatic breathing) we relax our emotions and let go our body
tensions.
Gay Hendricks
The groundwork of all
happiness is health.
Leigh Hunt
People who don't know how
to keep themselves healthy ought to have the decency to get themselves buried,
and not waste time about it.
Henrik Ibsen
The human body has been
designed to resist an infinite number of changes and attacks brought about by
its environment. The secret of god health lies in successful adjustment to
changing stresses on the body.
Harry J. Johnson
Health is my expected
heaven.
John Keats
The vitamin has been
reified. A chemical intangible originally defined as a unit of nutritive value,
it was long ago reified into a pill. Now it is a pill; no one except a few
precise scientists define it as anything else. Once the vitamin became a pill,
it became ''real'' according to the precepts of American Cartesianism: ''I
swallow it, therefore it is.''
Florence King
The building of a perfect
body crowned by a perfect brain, is at once the greatest earthly problem and
grandest hope of the race.
Dio Lewis
Joy, temperance, and
repose, slam the door on the doctor's nose.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Older people shouldn't eat
health food, they need all the preservatives they can get.
Robert Orben
Quit worrying about your
health. It'll go away.
Robert Orben
All excess is ill, but
drunkenness is of the worst sort. It spoils health, dismounts the mind, and
unmans men. It reveals secrets, is quarrelsome, lascivious, impudent, dangerous
and bad.
William Penn
I don't eat junk foods and
I don't think junk thoughts.
Peace Pilgrim
Attention to health is life
greatest hindrance.
Plato
Health consists with
temperance alone.
Alexander Pope
Is not that a great
principle for all of living? The people who will really accomplish great things
in life are those who are willing to discipline their lives, who maintain their
health, their vitality, their efficiency through this process of rigorous
disciplining of what they take into their bodies and what they do in life. It's
a very important thing in terms of championship living.
Bob Richards
The quality of your life is
dependent upon the quality of the life of your cells. If the bloodstream is
filled with waste products, the resulting environment does not promote a strong,
vibrant, healthy cell life-nor a biochemistry capable of creating a balanced
emotional life for an individual.
Anthony Robbins
Take care of your body.
It's the only place you have to live.
Jim Rohn
A feeble body weakens the
mind.
Jean Jacques Rousseau
One of the signs of an
approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly
important.
Bertrand Russell
Look to your health; and if
you have it, praise God, and value it next to a good conscience; for health is
the second blessing that we mortals are capable of; a blessing that money cannot
buy.
I know a lot of athletes
and models are written off as just bodies. I never felt used for my body.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Of all the anti-social
vested interests the worst is the vested interest in ill-health.
George Bernard Shaw
I believe you can have
whatever you really want in this life, in one form or another, sooner or later.
All you have to do is take care of your health and be lucky enough to live for a
while. But you can't have it all at once and you can't have it forever. No life
has the room for everything in it, not on the same day.
Barbara Sher
I am always busy, which is
perhaps the chief reason why I am always well.
Elizabeth Cady
Stanton
People who overly take care
of their health are like misers. They hoard up a treasure which they never
enjoy.
Laurence Sterne
All bodies are slow in
growth but rapid in decay.
Publius Cornelius Tacitus
Measure your health by your
sympathy with morning and spring. If there is no response in you to the
awakening of nature --if the prospect of an early morning walk does not banish
sleep, if the warble of the first bluebird does not thrill you --know that the
morning and spring of your life are past. Thus may you feel your pulse.
Henry David Thoreau
Be careful about reading
health books. You may die of a misprint.
Mark Twain
The way to keep your health
is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd
rather not.
Mark Twain
The winners in life treat
their body as if it were a magnificent spacecraft that gives them the finest
transportation and endurance for their lives.
Denis Waitley
Time And health are two
precious assets that we don't recognize and appreciate until they have been
depleted.
Denis Waitley
Look to your health; and if
you have it, praise God and value it next to a good conscience; for health is
the second blessing that money cannot buy; therefore value it, and be thankful
for it.

The human body is the best
picture of the human soul.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

a duty, it is a joy, for it increases our own health and happiness.

that he gave up reading.
Lord Conesford
When wealth is lost,
nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost,
all is lost.

to be healthy is by exercise and abstinence, to live as if he were poor.
Paul Dudley White

to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society
Krishnamurti
To get rich never risk your health. For it is the truth that health is the
wealth of wealth
Richard Baker
Many people treat their
bodies as if they were rented from Hertz-something they are using to get around
in but nothing they genuinely care about understanding.
Francois De La Rochefoucauld
To safeguard one's health at the cost of too strict a diet is a tiresome illness
indeed.
Bob Schwartz
Not only don't diets work, they're actually designed to fail. It's not you or
your lack of will power that's the problem. It's that diets by their very nature
simply don't work.
Fred A. Allen
I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.
Robert M. Hutchins

enjoy their vices.
