Matching Quote
"There is not enough exercise in this way of life. I try to make up by active
gymnastics
before I dress when I get up, by walking rapidly in the lower hall and the greenhouse after each meal for perhaps five to ten minutes, and a good hand rubbing before going to bed. I eat moderately; drink one cup of coffee at breakfast and one cup of tea at lunch and no other stimulant. My health is now, and usually, excellent."
-Rutherford Birchard Hayes
