Jean-Jacques Rousseau Quotes

I'm not a fanatic about exercising. For me, it's about moderation and balance.

This is what I think is very essential... moderation can be good for you.

Joy, temperance, and repose, slam the door on the doctor's nose.

Everybody knows I smoke, drink, and be up in the club, but I don't want that to be my entire thing. I want them to see me get up and go to the gym after a night of clubbing.

Moderation. Small helpings. Sample a little bit of everything. These are the secrets of happiness and good health.

Health lies in labor, and there is no royal road to it but through toil.

I think if you look after yourself on a regular basis, and do the prep beforehand, you don't need to put lots of effort into looking good. It's about finding the right balance - if you have a good diet, drink lots of water, exercise regularly and sleep, you won't look bad on a regular basis. Then you can afford the occasional naughty slip up once in a while, going out and having a delicious glass of wine with friends, having a great laugh and chat then realizing its 2am isn't so bad - you've put in the hard work!

Be sober and temperate, and you will be healthy.

You gotta take care of yourself; you can't do anything in excess.

I'm not a fan of idleness, except in small doses.

So I've broadened the fitness concept to make it one of moderation and balance.

I work hard and I play hard, too. There is nothing wrong with that.

I was a bartender for a long time, so I know how to make drinks, but I'm more likely to offer them than to have them. I think this is one of the reasons why I get to live longer than my great-grandmother did, and why I get to produce more writing than she did, and why my marriage isn't in dire straits.

Everyone has their own definition of a healthy lifestyle, and mine has come to mean making health a priority but not an obsession.

I live by the 80/20 rule: I'm 80 percent healthy, and then 20 percent indulgent.

If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.

Health consists with temperance alone.

I can be a bit extreme. I'll spend too much time running round the park, doing yoga and drinking green tea. I can get a bit obsessive. I have to rein it in sometimes.

I mean, moderation, not deprivation. That's my new way of living.
