I don’t think there’s going to be a day when I don’t think about food or my body, but I’m living with it, and I wish I could tell young girls to find their safe place and stay with it.
110
Here’s what I tell anybody and this is what I believe. The greatest gift we have is the gift of life. We understand that. That comes from our Creator. We’re given a body. Now you may not like it, but you can maximize that body the best it can be maximized.

Breathe in deeply to bring your mind home to your body. Then look at, or think of, the person triggering this emotion: With mindfulness, you can see that she is unhappy, that she is suffering.

142
143
144
For thousands of years, we have gained the power to control the world outside us but not to control the world inside.

145
Leg day is my favorite day. You can’t have a thorough leg workout without feeling completely spent.

Sure, I like ice cream, but when you keep a healthy lifestyle, it’s: Do you prefer sweets and crappy food, or do you prefer to have a nice body? It depends on what you want more.

152
I am not a normal person. I am living in a normal body, but my mind is not normal.
153
154
155
I have been running since I was 7. I was trying to restructure the way my body was made instead of trying to master the way I ran. I would get so frustrated with my starts in practices that I would just cry. When I ran, I wouldn’t even try to get out of the blocks, I would just run.
156

158
159
160
Concrete you can mold, you can press it into – after all, you haven‘t any straight lines in your body. Why should we have straight lines in our architecture?

161

180
181

182
183

184
I think happiness really happens when you least expect it: it’s when you’re not really thinking about it, when you’re not trying to achieve it, when you’re not trying to get the perfect holiday, the perfect life, the perfect body, the perfect existence.
185
My energy levels are off the charts. I can run all day, I breathe well, and I sweat a lot, so the toxins and impurities come out of my body.
186
187
You see, you are a spirit, you have a soul, and you live in a body. You have emotions, you have thoughts, you have a will, and you have a conscience. You are a complex being! And Jesus came to heal every single part of you. There’s not one part that He doesn’t want to make completely whole.
188
I learned a great lesson from my mother on her deathbed. She counseled me on the importance of taking care of myself so I wouldn’t end up in an unhealthy body like she did.

Where the marathon starts is after 30 kilometers. That’s where you feel pain everywhere in your body. The muscles are really aching, and only the most prepared and well-organized athlete is going to do well after that.
200
201
I feel like the human body is what it is, and the more you make yourself comfortable with it, the better off you are. Love your body and embrace that.
202
203
Our limitations and success will be based, most often, on your own expectations for ourselves. What the mind dwells upon, the body acts upon.
204
205
206
207
The sense of being a separate, egoic self begins with the astral, not with the physical, body. The soul is individualized spirit.

Money is to my social existence what health is to my body.
212
A room without books is like a body without a soul.
213
I think that, if anything, the pageant is great for people who suffer from body issues. It’s all about being comfortable with what you’re given and what you have and being able to flaunt it without being insecure. It’s about empowering women, not making them feel weak or less.
214
215
216
There is no death. The body withers but the spirit still lives.
217
I continuously go further and further learning about my own limitations, my body limitation, psychological limitations. It’s a way of life for me.
218
My favorite body part is my heart. Nothing beats loving and being loved.
219
220
221
Running a marathon is a stressful event for your body, mind and spirit. But when you put yourself through that willingly, consciously and in a learning atmosphere, you begin to understand how to deal with any stressful situation in a way that does not drain you.
222
223
There are moments when the body is as numinous as words, days that are the good flesh continuing. Such tenderness, those afternoons and evenings, saying blackberry, blackberry, blackberry.
224
I’m painting the paintings that I want to see in museums. And I’m hopefully presenting them in a way that’s universal enough that they become representative of something different than just a black body on a canvas.
225
The FBI should not be a political body.
226
Nature builds things that are antifragile. In the case of evolution, nature uses disorder to grow stronger. Occasional starvation or going to the gym also makes you stronger, because you subject your body to stressors and gain from them.
227
I’m confident in who I am, and I’m not doing anything wrong. I’m just being myself: being comfortable with my body, comfortable with my sound, and I’m figuring out who I am.
228
You always know. You have basic needs, and when they aren’t met, your body sends signals. Hunger, loneliness, exhaustion, thirst, and fear are all signals that something is missing, and you need to act on it now.
229
230
I found by deeper breathing, going into the cold, thinking about it, dealing with it; getting the conviction that my ability to breathe deeper is making connections with my body.
231
Beauty is only skin deep. I think what’s really important is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit.
232
Although almost every theoretical physicist agrees with my prediction that a black hole should glow like a hot body, it would be very difficult to verify experimentally because the temperature of a macroscopic black hole is so low.
233
Intimidation is an unusual animal: it’s a lot about body language and understanding the human psyche. Knowing that usually a direct stare will crush most human souls, and that’s just the basic gist of it… The soul-crushing stare, the fatherly disappointment, mixed with a little bit of hate and rage – you’re on your way.
234
On stage, it’s very naked. There’s a reason you shake your knees. You’re very vulnerable, cos it’s just you, your body is the instrument. But I always had confidence in my voice, if I had the right song, the right words to sing.
235
236
Food is your body’s fuel. Without fuel, your body wants to shut down.
237
238
239
I’m a hot mess when it comes to any physical activity. My body just pours sweat. Not a lot of people know, but I always have my trusty inhaler with me. When I start to have even a little bit of an asthma attack, I just start dripping sweat. It’s my body’s emergency system.
240
241
When you’re 47 years old and playing at a world-class level in the fastest sport, and you have zero percent body fat, you need to be brought down a peg as often as possible.
242
243
I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind.
244
245
246
247
248
Drink warm water with lemon first thing in the morning. It’s a good way to detox and alkalize your body.
249
250
251
With the sax, I learned technique well enough so that it feels like part of my body, and I just express myself. That’s where I want to get in golf.
252
Hatred is the air I breathe. It permeates every cell in my body.
253
254

255
256
257
258
259
260
I think you can tell the difference between ‘swagger‘ and real confidence immediately. You can smell it, like bad body spray versus nice cologne.
261
You can fix your body, your heart, your diabetes. In Korea, China, and India, there are people who do yoga. They go to the mountains and do breath-in, breath-out meditation. They can live 500 years and not get sick. Keeping their bodies for a long time is possible; even flying in the sky is possible.
262
I ran away from home. I ran away from St. Louis, and then I ran away from the United States of America, because of that terror of discrimination, that horrible beast which paralyzes one’s very soul and body.
263
264
Osteoporosis is a disease that attacks the bones in your body. It happens to really almost everyone when they get really old. But for women, after menopause, they can lose up to 30 percent of their bone mass.
265
266
Reading is to the mind what exercising is to the body.
267
268
The increase of scientific knowledge lies not only in the occasional milestones of science, but in the efforts of the very large body of men who with love and devotion observe and study nature.
269
The mind, in proportion as it is cut off from free communication with nature, with revelation, with God, with itself, loses its life, just as the body droops when debarred from the air and the cheering light from heaven.
270
271
A person will sometimes devote all his life to the development of one part of his body – the wishbone.
272
273
You have to be able to center yourself, to let all of your emotions go… Don’t ever forget that you play with your soul as well as your body.
274
There are moments when the human body can overcome things you would never expect.
275
I made a commitment to completely cut out drinking and anything that might hamper me from getting my mind and body together. And the floodgates of goodness have opened upon me – spiritually and financially.
276
The Framers of the Constitution expected the presidency to be occupied by special individuals, selfless people of the highest character and ability. They intended the Electoral College to be a truly deliberative body, not the largely ceremonial institution it has become today.
277
I think the most important thing in life is self-love, because if you don’t have self-love, and respect for everything about your own body, your own soul, your own capsule, then how can you have an authentic relationship with anyone else?
278
I used to know things intellectually, but now I feel them. Now I feel that my body is part of nature, so being sick is just a process of nature, and death is a process of nature, and being reborn through the soil is a process of nature.
279
280
I like the idea that the body is a vessel, that it’s not necessarily representative of the real you that’s inside of it.
281
282
Bodybuilding is about building your body. Whether you do it to maintain your fitness levels, climb Everest, run the marathon, or be a competitive bodybuilder is up to you.
283
284
285
Self-care is really about taking care of you and focusing on feeling good about yourself – mind and body.
286
It is really hard to completely re-learn how to express yourself without using words. When you take away speech, you have to re-invent the way you express yourself. You have to exaggerate your body language and your facial expressions.
287
I’ve never broken a bone in my body, even though I’ve done some extreme things.
288
289
Your butt and back are two of the strongest parts of your body.
290
Watch how you communicate with a woman. Because you’re always communicating, even when you’re not talking – with your body language, your facial expressions, your eyes.
291
My body doesn’t look like it did before. It’s changed after having a baby… it’s not better or worse, just different.
292
I had the classic 40 meltdown. I did. It’s embarrassing. It was pretty funny. But then I recovered. To me, it was like a second adolescence. Hormonally, my body was changing, my mind was changing, and so my relationship to myself and the world around me came to this assault of finiteness.
293
294
The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up.
295
I don’t need plastic in my body to validate me as a woman.
296
The most important part of the body is the brain. Of my face, I like the eyebrows and eyes. Aside from that, I like nothing. My head is too small.
297
Well, you know, I have always had an issue with the whole weight thing with people in general because I happen to love how big women look. I mean, it’s all a perspective. It’s all an opinion, and I think sort of the Rubenesque, voluptuous body is a lot sexier than the boney bag of bones with fake everything.
298
I have a book of buildings from 25,000 BC. These are huts built out of mammoth bones. These buildings were beautifully made, from the bones of the body into shelter.
299
300
Unsurprisingly, the poll-takers don’t talk a lot in public about the ignorance of the electorate on political and public policy matters. And the politicians are not going to disclose the, let’s say, limited body of knowledge in their constituencies. You don’t get elected calling your voters airheads.
301
I realized that if my thoughts immediately affect my body, I should be careful about what I think. Now if I get angry, I ask myself why I feel that way. If I can find the source of my anger, I can turn that negative energy into something positive.
302
The history of progress is written in the blood of men and women who have dared to espouse an unpopular cause, as, for instance, the black man’s right to his body, or woman’s right to her soul.
303
The soul, like the body, lives by what it feeds on.
304
If you do not use a muscle or any part of the body, it tends to become atrophic. So is the case with the brain. The more you use it, the better it becomes.
305
Often, lectins can get in the way of important cells communicating with one another. And when that happens, the body’s response is usually inflammation or some other type of reaction to toxicity, like nausea, diarrhoea, or vomiting.
306
307
Puberty is such a confusing time. You are still a child, with all that wonderful naivete and innocence, but your body is changing, and you’re self-conscious and curious about its impact on others all at the same time.
308
Every shot feels like the first shot of the day. If I’m on the range hitting shot after shot, I can hit them just as good as I did when I was 30. But out on the course, your body changes between shots. You get out of the cart, and you’ve got this 170-yard 5-iron over a bunker, and it goes about 138.
309
310
The Old Testament God is a person with body parts and passions. The Church of England God has neither body, parts nor passions, and is therefore not a person.
311
312
I used to be a conscious person in terms of dressing, and I wasn’t comfortable with my body, so I wouldn’t dress in a certain way. Now I am comfortable, and nothing bothers me. Once you are comfortable, everything starts looking good.
313
If zeal had been appropriate for putting humanity right, why did God the Word clothe himself in the body, using gentleness and humility in order to bring the world back to his Father?
314
315
316
There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.
317
Going through puberty as a young girl is so confusing. This monster invades your body, changes things and makes things grow, and no one tells you what’s going on.
318
319
320
Body love is more than acceptance of self or the acceptance of the body. Body love is about self-worth in general. It’s more than our physical appearance.
321
Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.
322
For me, the real earth is that chosen part of the universe, still almost universally dispersed and in course of gradual segregation, but which is little by little taking on body and form in Christ.
323
324
325
Do not follow the ideas of others, but learn to listen to the voice within yourself. Your body and mind will become clear and you will realize the unity of all things.
326
327
The book is called ‘A House in the Sky’ because during the very, very darkest times, that was how I survived. I had to find a safe place to go in my mind where there was no violence being done to my body and where I could reflect on the life I had lived and the life that I still wanted to live.
328
There is one thing I have never taught my body how to do and that is to figure out at 6 A.M. what it wants to eat at 6 P.M.
329
Fasting is not sustainable or enjoyable, yet we’ve been conditioned to think the only way to burn fat is to cut out all the things we love and spend hours in the gym. How can anyone live like that? Don’t starve yourself; train, then refuel your body.
330
331
It takes more than just a good looking body. You’ve got to have the heart and soul to go with it.
332
I don’t believe in playing just one sport. I believe it results in burnout, and each sport trains your body in a different way.
333
It’s not about weight, it’s about fitness, and one component of being fit is to have relatively low body fat, because fat is not very efficient, whereas muscle is.
334
Nitric oxide is a key biological messenger within the body. When released by the cells lining your arteries, it makes the walls of the arteries relax, allowing more blood to flow.
335
336
It’s not all about having the perfect body, perfect hair, perfect smile.
337
Before our kids start coming home from Iraq in body bags and women and children start dying in Baghdad, I need to know, what did Iraq do to us?
338
339
While weight loss is important, what’s more important is the quality of food you put in your body – food is information that quickly changes your metabolism and genes.
340
I remember when I was a child… walking into the woods by myself and feeling the solitude around me build like electricity and pass through my body with a jolt that made my hair prickle.
341
342
After thirty, a body has a mind of its own.
343
344
I kill myself for my body.
345
The amount of sensory material stored up or stored down in the brain’s and the body’s systems is inestimable. It’s like a culture at the bottom of a jar, although it doesn’t grow, I think, or help anything else to grow unless you find a way to reach it and touch it.
346
I chose to camouflage my body into the environment because this way, people will pay more attention to the background‘s social property, and the meaning of my body disappeared in this environment as an individual.
347
348
349
Why there is one body in our System qualified to give light and heat to all the rest, I know no reason but because the Author of the System thought it convenient; and why there is but one body of this kind, I know no reason, but because one was sufficient to warm and enlighten all the rest.
350
351
352
353
Man’s shortcomings and sins are all due to substance of the body and not to its form, while all his merits are exclusively due to his form.
354
Cultivation to the mind is as necessary as food to the body.
355
I like a man who smells good. Puts on cologne; lotions his body. It keeps me wanting. I like feeling that way.
356
The human body has limitations. The human spirit is boundless.
357
I want to play football until my body says, ‘You can’t run anymore: you’re dead.’
358
The absolute yearning of one human body for another particular body and its indifference to substitutes is one of life’s major mysteries.
359
360
361
As an actor, you have many tools – your body, your voice, your emotions, mentally. In film, you have your eyes because they communicate your thought process. In fact, generally in film, what you don’t say is more important than what you say. That’s not so much the case for stage.
362
363
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. When you feed yourself what your body needs when it needs it, that’s love. So give your bod some TLC and sit down and enjoy a good, substantial breakfast.
364
365
Mentally, I have to get my body and mind in the right place before I start the routine, but once into the zone, it’s like I turn on a switch. I envision myself doing the same thing for the Olympic Games.
366
367
I have one friend who I don’t think has a mean bone in her body and I find that very bizarre. I can’t imagine her ever flying off the handle, whereas I will.
368
Language is a more recent technology. Your body language, your eyes, your energy will come through to your audience before you even start speaking.
369
I learned different ways of working out. I learned a lot about my body. Let me just say that Arnold Schwarzenegger had 20-inch biceps when he did his first film, and when I did ‘Saala Khadoos,’ being a vegetarian, I managed 18 and half inches.
370
Sculpture occupies the same space as your body.
371
Our body is the only one we’ve been given, so we need to maintain it; we need to give it the best nutrition.
372
Disease makes men more physical, it leaves them nothing but body.
373
When the mind, body, and spirit work together, I believe anything is possible.
374
The human body and mind are tremendous forces that are continually amazing scientists and society. Therefore, we have no choice but to keep an open mind as to what the human being can achieve.
375
376
Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You are here to realize your inner divinity and manifest your innate enlightenment.
377
In traditional societies, we have a long legacy of men controlling the body and mind of women. Such societies have valorised motherhood and fabricated concepts like chastity. Women have been the victims of these notions for thousands of years.
378
379
Now they show you how detergents take out bloodstains, a pretty violent image there. I think if you’ve got a T-shirt with a bloodstain all over it, maybe laundry isn’t your biggest problem. Maybe you should get rid of the body before you do the wash.
380
Logic is not a body of doctrine, but a mirror-image of the world. Logic is transcendental.
381
My love is political. My body is political. I talk even when I don’t speak.
382
383
384
Music is your way to change the frequencies of everything around you and move your own body, move your whole environment.
385
386
In America, it is traditional to destroy the black body – it is heritage.
387
In the shower, I love to exfoliate my body.
388
Once your body is in workout-mode, a few days off won’t hurt. Muscle memory is magical. If you work out consistently, you can afford to miss a few sessions and your body will gladly pick up where you left off.
389
You spend so much time in your head in life. And what yoga does is, it asks you to allow your head to be quiet, to allow it to be still, just for an hour and a half. Just deal with your body and your breath. And it’s a great workout. I love it.
390
There isn’t a line that you can draw between the air and your body. We are the environment.
391
When you’re doing a movie, your body doesn’t allow you to get sick until you finish.
392
If God made the body, and the body is dirty, then the fault lies with the manufacturer.
393
If you think of feelings you have when you are awed by something – for example, knowing that elements in your body trace to exploded stars – I call that a spiritual reaction, speaking of awe and majesty, where words fail you.
394
395
You don’t have a soul; you are your own soul. In other words, you are not this book, your social security card, your body, or your mind. You are you.
396
Even if you don’t have time for a big workout, stretching in the morning and night really changes your body.
397
398
399
400
I’m taller than most actresses, so most corsets tend to be too short in the body.
401
402
403
There are different angles you have to work with as a hitter. Figuring out with my body what helps me get into those angles… is a constant discovery.
404
The soul is neither inside nor outside the body; neither proximate to nor separate from it.
405
I think of my body as a side effect of my mind.
406
Obviously you’ve got God-given talent to do things that a lot of people can’t do but I actually put the body of work in to get stronger, get faster, trying to work on my technique, trying to do little things that people usually don’t do, just trying to improve my game.
407
408
It is not the body’s posture, but the heart’s attitude that counts when we pray.
409
I’m having this conversation with you now. I’m talking, but I’m thinking, feeling, smelling, and moving. Yet I’m concentrating on what you’re saying. So that means there’s more things going on in the body than just the present thing that the person’s got you doing.
410
A caricature is putting the face of a joke on the body of a truth.
411
Your love is not outside; it is deep within you. You can never lose it, and it cannot leave you. It is not dependent on some other body, some external form.
412
Periods of wholesome laziness, after days of energetic effort, will wonderfully tone up the mind and body.
413
I used to be able to eat and drink whatever I wanted. But now, when I’m in a suit and tie all the time, sitting and being driven, you can just feel your body.
414
415
416
417
To have a body is to suffer.
418
Unless a man believes in himself and makes a total commitment to his career and puts everything he has into it – his mind, his body, his heart – what’s life worth to him?
419
I don’t care if Margot is a Dame of the British Empire or older than myself. For me she represents eternal youth; there is an absolute musical quality in her beautiful body and phrasing. Because we are sincere and gifted, an intense abstract love is born between us every time we dance together.
420
High maintenance means a lot of care. My relationships are high maintenance, my body is high maintenance, and my soul is high maintenance. I really care about my friends and my family; I eat good; I pray a lot. So it’s like, I really care about my relationships with my family, my friends, my body and my soul.
421
422
When you know in your bones that your body is a sacred gift, you move in the world with an effortless grace. Gratitude and humility rise up spontaneously.
423
424
What people don’t realize is the human body and the brain are so well designed to do – by millions of years of evolution – what we do.
425
426
427
Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.
428
Mindfulness practices enhance the connection between our body, our mind and everything else that is around us. Mindful living is the key to understanding our struggles with weight and to empowering us to control our weight.
429
The body is your instrument in dance, but your art is outside that creature, the body.
430
431
Facts are to the mind what food is to the body.
432
I don’t have a great instrument. I don’t have the kind of ungodly control over my voice and body that great actors have. And I’ve worked with enough great actors to know that I’m not one.
433
People do need to stay healthy and eat right to keep the body fit and functioning. But, our sweet tooth is a part of this wonderful machine, so we have to honor it and spoil it from time to time… to time.
434
I experienced bullying as early as the first day of kindergarten and there were times where I wish could escape out of my body.
435
I think a basic level of fitness can help the body cope with all manner of incidents.
436
We are in the society of the teacher-judge, the doctor-judge, the educator-judge, the ‘social-worker’-judge; it is on them that the universal reign of the normative is based; and each individual, wherever he may find himself, subjects to it his body, his gestures, his behavior, his aptitudes, his achievements.
437
Style to me is a mix between rock star chic-quirky-sexy and expressive. I always dress for my body type, as it’s important to highlight your pluses! I like edgy clothes that have character. I usually dress by the mood I’m in – so if I’m in my ripped jeans and leather jacket, you know I’m feeling rebellious!
438
439
Doctors look after me. But, basically, I look after myself. I don’t overeat. I don’t develop a big paunch. I do a little bit of exercise. At the same time, I believe that if you don’t work, you will decay. The decay process is through not using your faculties – not using your brain, not using your body.
440
You’ve just got to train hard. Conditioning is key, recovery is key. As hard as you work, recovery is just as important. All the soft-tissue work daily, all the things that keep me clean. And you’ve always got to be aware of what you’re eating, what you’re putting inside your body. That’s key as well.
441
442
I’m such a girl for the living room. I really like to stay in my nest and not move. I travel in my mind, and that that’s a rigorous state of journeying for me. My body isn’t that interested in moving from place to place.
443
444
I’m not much for talking. You know what I do. I put guys in body bags when I’m right.
445
446
447
I am against changing my body to become better. I am not against implants, I have a lot of girlfriends who have them, but the implants look good on them. I am never gonna get them, once I have kids they are gonna get bigger anyway.
448
Everyone has a different opinion; every country has a different way of doing things. But I do believe that we need a regulatory body so that everyone who owns or manages wildlife is subject to inspection and rated on how well they look after the animals and how the communities benefit.
449
My body is damaged from music in two ways. I have a red irritation in my stomach. It’s psychosomatic, caused by all the anger and the screaming. I have scoliosis, where the curvature of your spine is bent, and the weight of my guitar has made it worse. I’m always in pain, and that adds to the anger in our music.
450
Total relaxation is the secret to enjoying sitting meditation. I sit with my spine upright, but not rigid; and I relax all the muscles in my body.
451
Think with your whole body.
452
453
Transness is taking control to bring your body more in line with your soul and spirit so the two aren’t fighting against each other and struggling to survive.
454
I like my body when it is with your body. It is so quite new a thing. Muscles better and nerves more.
455
456
We all have something about ourselves that we’d change if we could in a perfect world, be it our body image, our financial status, our relationship, whatever. I wanted to talk about how nobody’s exempted from the realities of life and all those things.
457
There are thoughts which are prayers. There are moments when, whatever the posture of the body, the soul is on its knees.
458
One of the most radical things women can do is to love their body.
459
The sword the body wounds, sharp words the mind.
460
461
462
It’s not your body, it’s not your choice, because you got that from God. He gave that to you.
463
I don’t think I’m misunderstood, but there is definitely a certain side of me that the press focuses on – my body, my hair, or who I’m dating – which has never really served me as an actor. It’s served me in the commercial world, making money as a model, but the media perception has really hindered my acting career.
464
465
466
That neither our thoughts, nor passions, nor ideas formed by the imagination, exist without the mind, is what every body will allow.
467
For many people, managing pain involves using prescription medicine in combination with complementary techniques like physical therapy, acupuncture, yoga and massage. I appreciate this because I truly believe medical care should address the person as a whole – their mind, body, and spirit.
468
469
Wellness is associated with happiness. When you’re happy, you’re feeling good in your mind and body. That ties into being healthy, eating well, and exercising regularly. It also ties into being excited about things – like getting up in the morning and having a healthy breakfast.
470
471
The Soul is the voice of the body’s interests.
472
I see dance being used as communication between body and soul, to express what it too deep to find for words.
473
474
My whole body is a wreck. I’ve injured myself so many times with jujitsu, skateboarding, football. I guess I like to live hard.
475
I was always a very self-conscious person and was picked on for my body type. I used to feel low and sad all the time, but didn’t know I was suffering from depression and Body Dysmorphic Disorder till I got help.
476
477
Transferring our sovereignty and decisionmaking power to the WTO, to the United Nations, or any other international body is not in the long-term interests of our people.
478
The body, in ‘La Belle Noiseuse,’ was the source of the artist‘s creativity.
479
I groan daily under a body of sin and corruption. Oh for the time when I shall drop this flesh, and be free from sin!
480
After death we live for some time in the astral world in the astral body used during our life on earth, and the more we learn to control and use it wisely now the better for us after death.
481
I can’t say this enough – the food that you put into your bodies can actually help you get better grades. And it can also affect your performance in sports and other activities too. You see, when you give your body the best possible fuel, you have more energy, you’re stronger, you think more quickly.
482
But freedom, liberty, is an attribute of the soul and it may exist even when the body is in bondage.
483
484
Eating well and staying active is the necessary base to a clear complexion and a healthy body and mind.
485
You need to be aware, educated, and willing to do whatever it takes to remain healthy and keep the body healthy.
486
I will say a lot of dancers do such beautiful things for their body and then they smoke a cigarette. I’ve never been a smoker, but I realized after taking yoga . . . in ballet you’re not encouraged to do a lot of breathing. I think in a weird way, a lot of dancers find relief in actually breathing.
487
Cardio is a nice way to start the morning, man. Whether you sit on the bike for half an hour or throw on two jumpers and just sweat, it’s good to get up, get the body active, put on your headphones, and just pedal away.
488
489
490
You can’t help getting older, but you can help yourself from becoming old and infirm, in mind as well as body.
491
To hear someone talk about their life – you get to know the way their eyes moisten up, how big the smile is or how comfortable their body language is while talking to someone.
492
493
I eat healthy when I can; I eat a burger when I want, and I work out. You have to live with the routine that keeps your body the healthiest, and that’s what I do – I don’t change it for a swimsuit shoot. You have to figure out what works with your body the best.
494
God is one, greatest of gods and men, not like mortals in body or thought.
495
496
As you do Pilates, use your breath to draw your mind into the present and whisk the tension out of your body.
497
I think there’s a certain poetry to having your body reflect what you feel inside of you. Perhaps you have a feeling that’s so pure, or overwhelming inside of you that your body disfigures to it – contortions match your confusion.
498
499
Body language is a very powerful tool. We had body language before we had speech, and apparently, 80% of what you understand in a conversation is read through the body, not the words.
500
I’m very conscious about putting good food into my body. Years ago, I went to see an amazing healer called Allah, who could read your body. She told me that I can’t absorb vitamins very well, and I have to eat the right things to get my vitamins. I’ve always remembered that.
501
502
503
If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry.
504
Look, my body fat percentage has maybe gone up a percent or two, but it’s not gone up that much at all. I would say a lot of it has been attributed to muscle. It’s a lot of muscle.
505
Coconut oil is my best friend – I put it all over my body every night. And in the morning, I wash it off so I’m not all greasy.
506
Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.
507
508
Your pupillary muscles relax when your body gives up.
509
Youth is the spirit of adventure and awakening. It is a time of physical emerging when the body attains the vigor and good health that may ignore the caution of temperance. Youth is a period of timelessness when the horizons of age seem too distant to be noticed.
510
511
If you put junk into your body, your body is going to give you junk results.
512
Of one thing I am certain, the body is not the measure of healing, peace is the measure.
513
Everything about your life, about your body, grows! Your cells regenerate; your hair, your nails, everything grows for your entire life. And your soul needs exploration and growth. And the only way you’ll get it is by forcing yourself to be uncomfortable. Forcing yourself to get outside, out of your head.
514
515
I was too self-conscious in high school. I wanted to fit in or to disappear. I was a very uncomfortable person in high school, very uncomfortable with my body and I just didn’t feel like I fit in. I wanted to be invisible.
516
Everyone has their own insecurities, regardless of how you look or how people perceive you, but sometimes people give their insecurities too much power. Defining beauty is simply a matter of opinion. For me, real beauty has very little to do with the structure of someone’s face or body.
517
You can’t start with imbalance and end with peace, be that in your own body, in an ecosystem or between a government and its people. What we need to strive for is not perfection, but balance.
518
I’m more important to me than any body you can mention. Do you know that?
519
Be fit. It will keep your body and skin looking good.
520
The fear of public speaking is a primal fear. You can train your body to not be crazy when you’re doing it, but it truly is a primal fear.
521
If the human body recognized agony and frustration, people would never run marathons, have babies, or play baseball.
522
I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too.
523
524
I’m not a man trapped in a woman’s body. I’m a brain trapped in a human body.
525
Skin care is one of the most important things for the body and feeling good.
526
Our body is dependant on Heaven and Heaven on the Spirit.
527
Since I train instinctively and listen to my body, I have no set routine. I very much train by feel.
528
The human body is the best picture of the human soul.
529
A lot can be said with just a look, or the way the body moves. Each song is a different character. So each song takes on a different movement of the body. And the body has to go with the subject and the attitude that you have toward that subject.
530
531
532
As we dread any disease that undermines the health of the body, so should we deplore contention, which is a corroding canker of the spirit.
533
I remember, in my first show in New York, they asked, ‘Where is the Indian-ness in your work?’… Now, the same people, after having watched the body of my work, say, ‘There is too much Indian philosophy in your work.’ They’re looking for a superficial skin-level Indian-ness, which I’m not about.
534
I find, by experience, that the mind and the body are more than married, for they are most intimately united; and when one suffers, the other sympathizes.
535
536
537
You aren’t your work, your accomplishments, your possessions, your home, your family… your anything. You’re a creation of your Source, dressed in a physical human body intended to experience and enjoy life on Earth.
538
Pamela Anderson has more prosthetic in her body than I do. Nobody calls her disabled.
539
Your body is not who you are. The mind and spirit transcend the body.
540
In the morning a man walks with his whole body; in the evening, only with his legs.
541
It is not easy to lose or gain weight. The diet and the exercise regime should be compatible with your body, or else you end up with wrinkles and hair loss.
542
543
The true colour of life is the colour of the body, the colour of the covered red, the implicit and not explicit red of the living heart and the pulses. It is the modest colour of the unpublished blood.
544
545
I think women should start to embrace their age. What’s the alternative to getting older? You die. I can’t change the day I was born. But I can take care of my skin, my body, my mind, and try to live my life and be happy.
546
Sometimes my body is aching, but I always think, ‘Why am I in this? Why do I love it so much?’ That’s what makes me persevere, that’s what makes me keep on going.
547
548
Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do. Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do.
549
550
551
I like to reactivate my body after a long journey by getting the sun in my eyes.
552
Courage conquers all things: it even gives strength to the body.
553
Every music – except dance music, which is for dancing, I suppose – is for the spirit of the human being, and not for the body.
554
I cook naked, and I walk around naked. I’m very comfortable with my body.
555
It’s so weird to be alive and to be inside a body.
556
557
I’m drawn to the taboos that surround the human body. I find it fascinating that we are repelled by many of the acts and processes that keep us alive.
558
I find if my body feels well and I exercise regularly, I think better, work better and feel better.
559
Personal, inner change without a change in circumstances and structures is an idealist illusion, as though man were only a soul and not a body as well.
560
The business of biomedical research is mostly about failure. Few projects we commission will ultimately result in success. But every study we do contributes to the body of knowledge that brings science and society closer to a solution.
561
The body never lies.
562
All the movements of our body are not merely those dictated by impulse or weariness; they are the correct expression of what we consider decorous. Without impulses, we could take no part in social life; on the other hand, without inhibitions, we could not correct, direct, and utilize our impulses.
563
Not to be vain, but I have nice long legs, so I like to accentuate them. Find what part of your body you love most – it can be your arms, your chest, your legs – and emphasize that.
564
Divine life is in touch with the whole universe on the analogy of the soul’s contact with the body.
565
I’m not Tom Cruise. Very few British actors are. If you look at the body of work I’ve done it’s pretty obvious I’m not going to make a ‘Mission: Impossible.’
566
I am insecure about tomorrow. Will I get another job? Will it be appreciated? I will pursue acting for as long as I have a face and body that is acceptable to the people, but I still worry that if I don’t do better tomorrow, it will all go away.
567
I find nothing wrong with the naked body.
568
I actually found contracting malaria in the Congo fascinating. Observing your body under attack from this microorganism and seeing how it responds is simultaneously fascinating and awful but maybe that’s just because I’m a former biology teacher.
569
570
I think the human body is beautiful, and I don’t really have a huge problem in dealing with it, but it’s the context, the environment and what I feel about it that that makes the difference for me.
571
572
Exercise is like an addiction. Once you’re in it, you feel like your body needs it.
573
574
The omnipresent process of sex, as it is woven into the whole texture of our man’s or woman’s body, is the pattern of all the process of our life.
575
You have to trust your body to take care of you.
576
Hearing is a form of touch. I could hear less through the ears but more through the body.
577
The self has the characteristic that it is an object to itself, and that characteristic distinguishes it from other objects and from the body.
578
I love to work out outside. Hiking is such a great workout for your lower body.
579
Every time I rap about being a big girl in a small world, it’s doing a couple things: it’s empowering my self-awareness, my body image, and it’s also making the statement that we are all bigger than this; we’re a part of something bigger than this, and we should live in each moment knowing that.
580
