"Fasting is the first principle of medicine; fast and see the strength of the spirit reveal itself."
"To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals."
"Instead of changing the world, change your appetite. To control the body is to control the mind, and to control the mind is to find peace."
"A genuine fast is the cleansing of the mind as well as the body. It is a deliberate restriction to gain a higher freedom."
