Yet this is health

Yet this is health: To have a body functioning so perfectly that when its few simple needs are met it never calls attention to its own existence.

~Bertha Stuart Dyment

If the mind

If the mind, that rules the body, ever so far forgets itself as to trample on its slave, the slave is never generous enough to forgive the injury, but will rise and smite the oppressor.

~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The heart

The heart is not simply suspended in a body but in a culture, a place, a time.

~Mimi Guarneri

The soul

The soul is placed in the body like a rough diamond, and must be polished, or the luster of it will never appear.

~Daniel Defoe

Our bodies

Our bodies communicate to us clearly and specifically,
if we are willing to listen.

~Shakti Gawain

There is

There is but one temple in the universe,
and that is the body of man.

~Novalis

A sound mind

A sound mind in a sound body is a short but full description of a happy state in this world.

~John Locke

The best

The best and most efficient pharmacy is within your own system.

~Robert C. Peale

I used to think

“I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.”

- Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
