A Quote by Arnold Bennett

Worry is evidence of an ill-controlled brain; it is merely a stupid waste of time in unpleasantness. If men and women practiced mental calisthenics as they do physical calisthenics, they would purge their brains of this foolishness.

Worry is evidence of an ill-controlled brain; it is merely a stupid waste of time in unpleasantness.

Arnold Bennett

I think psychedelics are sort of like doing calisthenics in preparation for the marathon at the end of time.

Terence McKenna

Homeopaths do not have a physical brain, but merely 'skull water' with the memory of brains.

Robin Ince

I won't take time to repeat all the obvious benefits of physical exercise but will only underscore the well-attested fact that a program of regular exercise increases one's efficiency in every facet of life, including the depth and restfulness of sleep. And the time taken can be minimal; just a few minutes of calisthenics and running in place in one's room or jogging around the yard or block is often sufficient. Exercising doesn't take time. It saves time. Still, few consistently do it.

Stephen Covey

When I can, I do 25 minutes of calisthenics every day.

Willard Scott

I get my exercise being a pallbearer for those of my friends who believed in regular running and calisthenics.

Winston Churchill

A few well-designed movements, properly performed in a balanced sequence, are worth hours of doing sloppy calisthenics or forced contortion.

Joseph Pilates

When we consider that each of us has only one life to live, isn’t it rather tragic to find men and women, with brains capable of comprehending the stars and the planets, talking about the weather; men and women, with hands capable of creating works of art, using those hands only for routine tasks; men and women, capable of independent thought, using their minds as a bowling-alley for popular ideas; men and women, capable of greatness, wallowing in mediocrity; men and women, capable of self-expression, slowly dying a mental death while they babble the confused monotone of the mob?

Neil Gaiman

I'm the guy doing calisthenics. I'm doing jumping jacks and deep knee bends. I work out like a British person.

Ryan Reynolds

When at length we tire of putting people down, this self-inflicted fatigue can give way to the invigorating calisthenics of lifting people up.

Neal A. Maxwell

It has become a kind of religion that you can't criticise because then you become a traitor to the great cause, which I am not. It is time we began to ask who are these women who continually rubbish men. The most stupid, ill-educated and nasty woman can rubbish the nicest, kindest and most intelligent man and no one protests ... Men seem to be so cowed that they can't fight back, and it is time they did.

Doris Lessing

Video games are a waste of time for men with nothing else to do. Real brains don't do that.

Ray Bradbury

Mental power cannot be got from ill-fed brains.

Herbert Spencer

Women have a thirst for order and beauty as for something physical; there is a strange female power of hating ugliness and waste as good men can only hate sin and bad men virtue.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Having a Hummer is stupid. It's stupid to waste that much gas. It's stupid to waste that much money on gas. It's stupid to parade your insecurities on public roads. Hummers are stupid-looking.

Penn Jillette

I believe in a world where mothers are not expected to shed any physical evidence of their child-bearing experience. In that same world I believe there is space for exercise to be as much a gift to your brain as it is your body. I don't want to waste my time striving for some subjective definition of perfection. I'd rather rebuild my strength while dancing my ass off...literally .

Olivia Wilde
