Our growing softness, our increasing lack of physical fitness, is a menace to our security.

Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.

In my judgment, physical fitness is basic to all forms of excellence and to a strong, confident nation.

Physical fitness sharpens the mind and strengthens the soul.

You must also give mental and physical fitness priority.

Better health is more important than beauty and with better health comes beauty.
