I've always said, the key organ here isn't the brain, it's the stomach. When things start to decline - there are bad headlines in the papers and on television - will you have the stomach for the market volatility and the broad-based pessimism that tends to come with it?

Peter Lynch

I work more with my stomach than my brain.

Maurizio Cattelan

Ian Dunbar

When engaged in eating, the brain should be the servant of the stomach.

Agatha Christie

God designed the stomach to eject what is bad for it, but not the human brain.

Konrad Adenauer

The animal tends to eat with his stomach, and the man with his brain. When the animal's stomach is full, he stops eating, but the man is never sure when to stop. When he has eaten as much as his belly can take, he still feels empty, he still feels an urge for further gratification.

Alan Watts

Order a purge for your brain, it will there be much better employed than upon your stomach.

Michel de Montaigne

The brain secretes thought as the stomach secretes gastric juice, the liver bile, and the kidneys urine.

There was something in my brain when it came to exercising - my stomach would churn, my heart would go and beat funny. I'd be like: 'I just don't want to do this.'

Gemma Collins

Everyone uses the brain at every moment, but we use it unconsciously. We let it run in the background without realizing the power we have to reshape the brain. When you begin to exercise your power, the everyday brain, which we call the baseline brain, starts to move in the direction of super brain.
