To keep the body

To keep the body in good health is a duty, otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.

~Buddha

Man is

Man is the sole animal whose nudity offends his own companions, and the only one who, in his natural actions, withdraws and hides himself from his own kind.

~Montaigne

Criticism

Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.

~Winston Churchill

Some patients

Some patients I see are actually draining into their bodies the diseased thoughts of their minds.

~Zacharty Bercovitz

the only time

"... the only time you ever have in which to learn anything or see anything or feel anything, or express any feeling or emotion, or respond to an event, or grow, or heal, is this moment, because this is the only moment any of us ever gets. You’re only here now; you’re only alive in this moment."

-- Jon Kabat-Zinn

Very few of us

"Very few of us know how much we can put into life if we use it properly, wisely, and economically. Let us economize our time -- lifetimes ebb away before we wake up, and that is why we do not realize the value of the immortal time God has given us."

-- Paramahansa Yogananda

Forget

Forget any sounds or touch you knew
that did not help you dance.

~Rumi

When all is said and done

When all is said and done, a lot more is said than done.

~Lou Holtz

If you are pained

“If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgment of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgment now.”

-- Marcus Aurelius
