The only way for a rich man to be healthy is by exercise and abstinence, to live as if he were poor.

What broke in a man when he could bring himself to kill another?

I have known healthy, wealthy people who were depressed, and people with critical illnesses who could honestly attest to joy.

Do you suppose there is any living man so unreasonable that if he found himself stricken with a dangerous ailment he would not anxiously desire to regain the blessing of health?

The bravest person I've ever met was a young boy going through massive amounts of treatment for a very rare, complex and unpleasant disease. I last saw him at a Discworld convention, where he chose to take part in a game as an assassin. He died not long afterwards, and I wish I had his fortitude and sense of style.

My father ran a corner drug store where he worked night and day, seven days a week, until he died of a stroke. He literally worked himself to death.

There are some who praise a man free from disease; to me no man who is poor seems free from disease but to be constantly sick.

I was really proactive in trying to heal my family. I wouldn't give up. My whole life was about trying to get my father healthier, and there were moments when he was healthier. Then someone would give him a drink. I always felt if he had one person in his life who supported his healthy side, he'd be on his way.

I started eating healthier. I actually gave up fast food. I gave up candy and potato chips and everything else. I started watching what I ate.

I gave up so many things. It wasn't that I was out of control - it was just years of eating anything I wanted. I wouldn't eat a whole pizza, but if I wanted pizza two or three times a week, I didn't think to limit myself. So I just cut out all the stuff that I viewed as unhealthy.
