Ralph Marston
"Have a variety of interests. These interests relax the mind and lessen tension on the nervous system. People with many interests live, not only longest, but happiest."
George Matthew Allen

Dr. Joyce Brothers
"Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop."
Ovid
"Listen to soothing music. Pick some relaxing music devoid of lyrics. It could be sounds of ocean waves, or birds singing. Relaxation tapes or CDs can be found at most drug stores or big box consumer stores."
Byron Pulsifer
"If you were to take one week and calculate your percentage for: Time spent relaxing;
what would your ratio be? Would you say you had a balanced life?
Catherine Pulsifer
