George H. W. Bush

You have to understand that people that are hurting are going to criticize.

You know I vowed when I became President not to talk about the loneliest toughest job in the world and I didn’t.

I am not one who – who flamboyantly believes in throwing a lot of words around.

We are not the sum of our possessions.

It’s a very good question, very direct, and I’m not going to answer it.

We can realise a lasting peace and transform the East-West relationship to one of enduring co-operation.

[on depression] This is a disorder that affects millions of people and I am on of them. There is no need to suffer silently and there is no shame in seeking help.

I use the world as my therapy – as my therapist.

It’s not just people who can’t find a job, or can’t fit in in society that struggle with depression sometimes.

Women in particular need to keep an eye on their physical and mental health, because if we’re scurrying to and from appointments and errands, we don’t have a lot of time to take care of ourselves. We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own ‘to do’ list.

You may feel depressed, but it can’t be so depressing that you can’t move. No, I would say that people create in moments when they are elated about expressing their depression!

I’m struggling just to get through the days. I think a lot of people are.

It’s not about eating healthy to lose weight. It’s about eating healthy to feel good.

Use your health, even to the point of wearing it out. That is what it is for. Spend all you have before you die; do not outlive yourself.

That is all I want in life: for this pain to seem purposeful.

I still indulge in a glass of wine or chocolate – treats are mandatory. Without deviating from the day-to-day healthy diet once in a while, it wouldn’t be sustainable for me, and that’s what I wanted: an approach to eating to last my entire life.

As a teen, I was both anorexic and bulimic.

And every person can benefit from talking to somebody. I’m the most anti-medication person, but some people need medicine, and there was a time where I needed some too.

A lot of people undermine their own anxiety because they’re like…nothing’s necessarily going wrong. It just happens and it’s just inside of you and that’s not something you should be ashamed of. It’s justified because it’s happening.

Need a whole new syntax for fatigue on days like this.

I believe we have to nip Ebola in the bud before it spreads through Africa and to other countries.
