Health: A bodily disease, which we look upon as whole and entire within itself, may, after all, be but a symptom of some ailment in the spiritual part. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne

Health: A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book. ~Irish Proverb

Health: A great many sick persons are allowed to drift into a critical condition when ill—from which many never rally, because they are not fed—not furnished with such nutritive material as their enfeebled powers can digest. ~King Chambers Health: A healthy body is the guest-chamber of the soul; a sick, its prison. ~Francis Bacon

Health: A sad soul can kill you quicker than a germ. ~John Steinbeck

Health: A single, dancing thread ties the people of the world together in a cohesive fabric. This is our humanness and mortality. We are all born with a similar challenge, borne from the blessing of ownership of this complex physical body.... With this ownership... comes the sometimes immense responsibility of health maintenance. ~Garri Garripoli

Health: Adam and Eve ate the first vitamins, including the package. ~E.R. Squibb

Health: After I found that mind was matter, I found that ideas were matter condensed into a solid called disease, and that this, like a book, contained all the wisdom of its author. Seeing the book,—for sight with Wisdom embraces all the senses,—I open it, and see through it. To the patient it is a sealed book; but to Wisdom there is nothing hid which cannot be revealed or seen, nor so far off that it cannot be reached. So I read the contents of the book to the patient, and show that it is false. Then, as the truth changes his mind, light takes the place of the darkness, till he sees through the error of disease. The light of Wisdom dissipates the matter, or disease, the patient once more finds himself freed of opinions, and happiness is restored. ~Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, August 1861

Health: After these two, Dr. Diet and Dr. Quiet, Dr. Merriman is requisite to preserve health. ~James Howell

Health: An illness of the mind is an illness of the body, and vice versa. ~Terri Guillemets

Health: An imaginary ailment is worse than a disease. ~Yiddish Proverb

Health: And thus the literary man has two fires in his body: the strain of his mental work and the overmuch of blood in his head.... Man, so rich in knowledge, has also become rich in diseases, but poor in health and physical strength. ~Sebastian Kneipp

Health: Anybody's soap is superior to somebody else's stink killer. ~Martin H. Fischer

Health: As a people, we have become obsessed with Health. There is something fundamentally, radically unhealthy about all this. We do not seem to be seeking more exuberance in living as much as staving off failure, putting off dying. We have lost all confidence in the human body. ~Lewis Thomas

Health: Bacteria keep us from heaven and put us there. ~Martin H. Fischer

Health: Beauty isn't something on the outside. It's your insides that count! You gotta eat green stuff to make sure you're pretty on the inside. ~ (Nintendo video game) written by Takayuki Ikkaku, Arisa Hosaka, and Toshihiro Kawabata

Health: Being healthy is a revolutionary act. ~Author unknown

Health: But times of stress and difficulty are inevitable in life. Mental hygiene means preparation to deal with such times. ~, Illinois Society for Mental Health, 1928

Health: Confidence and hope do more good than physic. ~Galen

Health: Despise no new accident in your body, but ask opinion of it.... There is a wisdom in this beyond the rules of physic. A man's observation, what he finds good and of what he finds hurt of, is the best physic to preserve health. ~Francis Bacon

Health: Disease is somatic; the suffering from it, psychic. ~Martin H. Fischer

Health: Disease is the misery of our belief, happiness is the health of our wisdom, so that man's happiness or misery depends on himself. Now, as our misery comes from our belief, and not from the thing believed, it is necessary to be on the watch, so as not to be deceived by false guides. Sensation contains no intelligence or belief, but is a mere disturbance of the matter, called agitation, which produces mind, and is ready to receive the seed of error. Ever since man was created, there has been an element called error which has been busy inventing answers for every sensation. ~Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, September 1861

Health: Diseases come a horsebacke, and returne on foot. ~French proverb quoted by Randle Cotgrave

Health: Diseases crucify the soul of man, attenuate our bodies, dry them, wither them, rivel them up like old apples, make them as so many Anatomies. ~Robert Burton

Health: Diseases of the soul are more dangerous and more numerous than those of the body. ~Cicero

Health: Doctors are always working to preserve our health and cooks to destroy it, but the latter are the more often successful. ~Denis Diderot

Health: Doctors don't know everything really. They understand matter, not spirit. And you and I live in the spirit. ~William Saroyan

Health: Each patient carries his own doctor inside him. They come to us now knowing this truth. We are at our best when they give the doctor who resides within each patient a chance to go to work. ~Albert Schweitzer

Health: Eat right, exercise regularly, die anyway. ~Author unknown

Health: Every day we touch what is wrong, and, as a result, we are becoming less and less healthy. That is why we have to learn to practice touching what is not wrong—inside us and around us. When we get in touch with our eyes, our heart, our liver, our breathing, and our non-toothache and really enjoy them, we see that the conditions for peace and happiness are already present. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

Health: Every living thing depends for its existence upon some other form of life - or death. Were it not for the pale, underground flowers of the soil, the bacteria, the grass could not live. If it were not for the grass, the browsing beasts of the field could not live. If it were not for the beasts of the field and the ripened seeds or roots of the grass, man could not live. ~Woods Hutchinson, A.M., M.D.

Health: Every man's disease is his personal property. ~Alonzo Clark

Health: Every one is made of matter, and matter is continually going through a chemical change. This change is life, not wisdom, but life, like vegetable or mineral life. Every idea is matter, so of course it contains life in the name of something that can be changed. Motion, or change, is life. Ideas have life. A belief has life, or matter; for it can be changed. Now, all the aforesaid make up man; and all this can be changed. ~Phineas Parkhurst Quimby

Health: Every symptom has a story to tell about your life. A fascinating story, that can reveal the complex links between your body, mind, emotions and spirit. ~Kristina Turner

Health: Everyone should be his own physician. We ought to assist and not force nature. Eat with moderation what agrees with your constitution. Nothing is good for the body but what we can digest. What medicine can produce digestion? Exercise. What will recruit strength? Sleep. What will alleviate incurable ills? Patience. ~Voltaire

Health: First need in the reform of hospital management? That's easy! The death of all dietitians, and the resurrection of a French chef. ~Martin H. Fischer

Health: Half the modern drugs could well be thrown out the window, except that the birds might eat them. ~Martin H. Fischer

Health: Health and cheerfulness naturally beget each other. ~Joseph Addison

Health: Health and disease don't just happen to us. They are active processes issuing from inner harmony or disharmony, profoundly affected by our states of consciousness, our ability or inability to flow with experience. This recognition carries with it implicit responsibility and opportunity. ~Marilyn Ferguson

Health: Healthy people are invalids who don't know it. ~Jules Romains

Health: Hear your heart. Heart your health. ~Terri Guillemets

Health: How sickness enlarges the dimension of a man's self to himself! ~Charles Lamb

Health: Human misery universally arises from some error that man admits as true. We confound our fears with the idea feared, and place the evil in the thing seen or believed. Here is a great error, for we never see what we are afraid of. ~Phineas Parkhurst Quimby

Health: I am at the moment deaf in the ears, hoarse in the throat, red in the nose, green in the gills, damp in the eyes, twitchy in the joints and fractious in temper from a most intolerable and oppressive cold. ~Charles Dickens

Health: I am pretty sure that, if you will be quite honest, you will admit that a good rousing sneeze, one that tears open your collar and throws your hair into your eyes, is really one of life's sensational pleasures. ~Robert Benchley

Health: I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol. ~Author Unknown

Health: I have looked through the list of illnesses, and did not find cares or sad thoughts mentioned among them. That is a mistake, surely. ~Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Health: I reckon being ill as one of the great pleasures of life, provided one is not too ill and is not obliged to work till one is better. ~Samuel Butler

Health: I suspect that we are all recipients of cosmic love notes. Messages, omens, voices, cries, revelations, and appeals are homogenized into each day's events. If only we knew how to listen, to read the signs. ~Sam Keen

Health: If you wish to keep as well as possible, the less you think about your health the better. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes

Health: Illness is the most heeded of doctors: to goodness and wisdom we only make promises; pain we obey. ~Marcel Proust

Health: Illness is the result of imbalance. Imbalance is a result of forgetting who you are. Forgetting who you are creates thoughts and actions that lead to an unhealthy lifestyle and eventually to illness.... Illness can thus be understood as a lesson you have given yourself to help you remember who you are. ~Barbara Brennan

Health: Illness tells us what we are. ~Italian saying

Health: Illnesses which occur because of physical causes should be treated by doctors with medical remedies; those which are due to spiritual causes disappear through spiritual means. Thus an illness caused by affliction, fear, nervous impressions, will be healed more effectively by spiritual rather than physical treatment. Hence, both kinds of treatment should be followed; they are not contradictory. ~'Abdu'l-Baha

Health: In a disordered mind, as in a disordered body, soundness of health is impossible. ~Cicero

Health: In later times wise men were never wanting who endeavoured to restore among their contemporaries primitive habits and ways of living, to bring mankind back to the observance of those simple and rational rules of life to which the ancients owed their health and strength. ~Sebastian Kneipp

Health: In minds crammed with thoughts, organs clogged with toxins, and bodies stiffened with neglect, there is just no space for anything else. ~Alison Rose Levy, An Ancient Cure for Modern Life, , Jan/Feb 2002

Health: In order to change we must be sick and tired of being sick and tired. ~Author Unknown

Health: In the face of such overwhelming statistical possibilities hypochondria has always seemed to me to be the only rational position to take on life. ~John Diamond

Health: It has often been remarked, that persons destitute of ambition and avarice are peculiarly likely to enjoy long life. They feel no regret for the past, nor anxiety about the future. Enjoying that tranquility of soul, on which the happiness of our early years so much depends, they are strangers to those torments of the mind, which usually accompany more advanced years, and by which the body is wasted and consumed. Hence a calm, contented, and cheerful disposition, may be justly considered the great source of health, in regard both of body and mind; and ought to be accounted the most important of all our possessions. ~John Sinclair

Health: It is a lot harder to keep people well than it is to just get them over a sickness. ~DeForest Clinton Jarvis

Health: It is a wise mans part, rather to avoid sickness, than to wishe for medicines. ~Thomas More

Health: It is part of the cure to want to be cured. ~Seneca

Health: It is very strange, this domination of our intellect by our digestive organs. We cannot work, we cannot think, unless our stomach wills so. It dictates to us our emotions, our passions.... We are but the veriest, sorriest slaves of our stomach. Reach not after morality and righteousness, my friends; watch vigilantly your stomach, and diet it with care and judgment. Then virtue and contentment will come and reign within your heart, unsought by any effort of your own; and you will be a good citizen, a loving husband, and a tender father—a noble, pious man. ~Jerome K. Jerome

Health: It may seem strange to those in health that our beliefs affect us. The fact is, there is nothing of us but belief. It is the whole capital and stock in trade of man. It is all that can be changed, and embraces everything man has made or ever will make. ~Phineas Parkhurst Quimby

Health: It's bizarre that the produce manager is more important to my children's health than the pediatrician. ~Meryl Streep

Health: It's no longer a question of staying healthy. It's a question of finding a sickness you like. ~Jackie Mason

Health: Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life. ~Buddha

Health: Just because you're not sick doesn't mean you're healthy. ~Author Unknown

Health: Life is like a tree and its root is consciousness. Therefore, once we tend the root, the tree as a whole will be healthy. ~Deepak Chopra

Health: Life is not merely to be alive, but to be well. ~Marcus Valerius Martial

Health: Like everybody else, when I don't know what else to do, I seem to go in for catching colds. ~George Jean Nathan

Health: Man is made of opinions,—of truth and error; and his life is a warfare like all other lives before him.... Man goes on developing error upon error till he is buried in his own belief.... It is the office of wisdom to explain the phenomena in man called disease, to show how it is made, and how it can be unmade. This is as much a science as it is to know how to decompose a piece of metal. ~Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, December 1861

Health: May you live as long as you are fit to live, but no longer! or, may you rather die before you cease to be fit to live than after! ~Philip Dormer Stanhope, 1749

Health: Men make use of their illnesses at least as much as they are made use of by them. ~Aldous Huxley

Health: Men that look no further than their outsides, think health an appurtenance unto life, and quarrel with their constitutions for being sick; but I that have examined the parts of man, and know upon what tender filaments that fabric hangs, do wonder that we are not always so; and considering the thousand doors that lead to death, do thank my God that we can die but once. ~Thomas Browne

Health: Men usually take better care of their boots than of their stomachs. ~James Lendall Basford

Health: Most of the time we think we're sick, it's all in the mind. ~Thomas Wolfe

Health: My definition of fitness is to be able to carry out all of the activities in life that you desire, plus have a physical reserve at the end of the day to do something besides lie down and flip the remote. If you can do all that, if you're functional, then you're fit. It doesn't matter if you have great abs or can bench-press your body weight. Those things have nothing to do with real life. ~James Glinn, physical therapist, in an interview with

Health: My own prescription for health is less paperwork and more running barefoot through the grass. ~Terri Guillemets

Health: Nearly all men die of their remedies, and not of their illnesses. ~Jean Baptiste Moliere

Health: Nothing is more fatal to Health, than an over Care of it. ~Benjamin Franklin

Health: Now, I stand alone on this rock, fighting the errors of this world, and establish the science of life by my works. What is my mode of warfare? With the axe of truth I strike at the root of every tree of error and hew it down, so that there shall not be one error in man showing itself in the form of disease. ~Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, March 1861

Health: One thing is certain: the time will come when the opinions of priests and doctors must give way to the science of life; for their opinions lead to death and misery, and the science of life is health and happiness. ~Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, March 1861

Health: Our body is a machine for living. It is organized for that, it is its nature. Let life go on in it unhindered and let it defend itself, it will do more than if you paralyze it by encumbering it with remedies. ~Leo Tolstoy

Health: People who are always taking care of their health are like misers who are hoarding a treasure which they have never spirit enough to enjoy. ~Laurence Sterne

Health: People with diseases like AIDS and cancer feel an urgency in straightening out their lives, examining their purpose, and confronting the reality of death. Ironically, in spite of the physical and emotional pain they experience, many of these patients express gratitude for this opportunity. The encounter with their own mortality changes their priorities in life, their values and aspirations. For many, it makes them truly cherish life and the ability to give and receive love. ~Jeff Seibert

Health: Physical ills are the taxes laid upon this wretched life; some are taxed higher, and some lower, but all pay something. ~Lord Chesterfield

Health: Physick, for the most part, is nothing else but the Substitute of Exercise or Temperance. ~Joseph Addison

Health: Poor health is not caused by something you don't have; it's caused by disturbing something that you already have. Healthy is not something that you need to get, it's something you have already if you don't disturb it. ~Dean Ornish

Health: Preserving the health by too strict a regimen is a wearisome malady. ~Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld

Health: Sickness - nature's vengeance for violating her laws. ~Charles Simmons

Health: Sickness always brings the soul nearer to God. ~James Lendall Basford

Health: Sickness is injured Nature's revenge. ~James Lendall Basford

Health: Sickness is poor-spirited, and cannot serve anyone; it must husband its resources to live. But health or fullness answers its own ends, and has to spare, runs over, and inundates the neighborhoods and creeks of other men's necessities. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Health: So many people spend their health gaining wealth, and then have to spend their wealth to regain their health. ~A.J. Reb Materi

Health: Some maladies are so grave that we die of them; others, though not exactly mortal, are such as may be observed and felt without much study; finally, there are some that are hardly recognizable without a microscope. But then they look perfectly awful. This microscope is - hypochondria. I believe that if men were really to set themselves to study these microscopical diseases, they would have the satisfaction of being ill every day of their lives. ~Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Health: Sometimes a headache is all in your head. Relax. ~Terri Guillemets

Health: Sometimes I get the feeling the aspirin companies are sponsoring my headaches. ~Terri Guillemets

Health: Sometimes I think our ancestors would laugh through their tears if they could see how we eat. We eat mostly from colorful boxes and cans. We spray our vegetables and fruits with deadly chemicals, then ship them half-way around the world before we eat them. It's been a grand experiment in the wonders of technology, but what a price we're paying in our health! Many scientific experiments have now demonstrated that if we simply return to eating more traditional, natural foods, the body often begins to heal itself. And, it's becoming impossible to heal personal symptoms, unless they are understood in relationship to the need to heal the planet. ~Kristina Turner

Health: Stretching oneself too thin is the disease of modern life - letting oneself get too thick, the other. ~Terri Guillemets

Health: The . ~Author unknown, as quoted in Mimi Guarneri

Health: The appearance of a disease is swift as an arrow; its disappearance slow, like a thread. ~Chinese Proverb

Health: The cause is within us. The cure is within us. When we know this our concept of disease is no longer that of something fixed upon the body cells which must be purged, cut or burned away. It is not something coming in from the outside which we cannot prevent. Rather it is a change from within, and we must find the reason why the body changes its perfect pattern to vibrate to discord rather than to harmony. ~Rebecca Beard, 1951

Health: The cure of the part should not be attempted without the cure of the whole. ~Plato

Health: The deviation of man from the state in which he was originally placed by nature seems to have proved to him a prolific source of disease. ~Edward Jenner

Health: The doctor of the future will give no medicines, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the causes and prevention of disease. ~Thomas Edison

Health: The doctor of the year 2014 will work shoulder to shoulder with the teacher. He will see to it that education shall train and develop the whole child, instead of just the expanded bulb at the top of him, leaving the rest of him to shift for itself in the intervals that remain. The new medicine will make schooling a thing of the open air instead of stuffy rooms, of fields and gardens instead of printed pages, of deeds instead of words.... Perhaps by 2014 teachers may recognize that it is as important for a child to correctly bound and describe his liver as the countries of Europe, or the States of the Union, and to know at least as much of his own interior as he does of that of Hindustan. Education for life will include a sound, working knowledge of the body machine that he has to live and work with; of what food fuels will best and most economically supply it with energy; how its bearings are to be watched and its gears regulated; and how to make roadside repairs. ~Woods Hutchinson, A.M., M.D.

Health: The existence of illness in the body may no doubt be called a shadow of the true illness which is held by man in his mind. ~Hazrat Khan

Health: The great majority of us are required to live a life of constant duplicity. Your health is bound to be affected if, day after day, you say the opposite of what you feel, if you grovel before what you dislike, and rejoice at what brings you nothing but misfortune. Our nervous system isn't just a fiction, it's a part of our physical body, and our soul exists in space, and is inside us, like the teeth in our mouth. It can't be forever violated with impunity. ~Boris Pasternak

Health: The great secret of medicine, known to doctors but still hidden from the public, is that most things get better by themselves. ~Lewis Thomas

Health: The greatest wealth is health. ~Virgil

Health: The healthiest among us is not exempt from hereditary disease. The most symmetrical, athletic, and long-lived is a being inexpressibly inferior to what he would have been had not the unnatural habits of his ancestors accumulated for him a certain portion of malady and deformity. In the most perfect specimen of civilized man, something is still found wanting by the physiological critic. Can a return to nature, then, instantaneously eradicate predispositions that have been slowly taking root in the silence of innumerable ages? - Indubitably not. All that I contend for is, that from the moment of relinquishing all unnatural habits, no new disease is generated; and that the predisposition to hereditary maladies gradually perishes for want of its accustomed supply. ~William Andrus Alcott

Health: The hospitals and graveyards are filled with those who refused to acknowledge the virtues of physical morality. ~Dr Ron Spallone

Health: The longer I live the less confidence I have in drugs and the greater is my confidence in the regulation and administration of diet and regimen. ~John Redman Coxe

Health: The majority of people of this country, are ever studying the best means of preserving health, and at the same time pursue a course that have results precisely contrary to their wishes. They will seek for medicines with the utmost avidity, and will fill their carcases #bigpharma

Health: The marvelous pharmacy that was designed by nature and placed into our being by the universal architect produces most of the medicines we need. ~Norman Cousins

Health: The medicine of the future will know but few drugs.... It will concern itself with the production and preparation of food, rather than the production and preparation of drugs, because it knows that its only permanent results in the direction of improving health will be won by the former instead of by the latter. The kitchen is the best laboratory, and the doctor of the future may even take rank with the cook as a public benefactor. The medical colleges of 2014 will teach the botany, geographical source, and methods of production and preparation of foods as carefully as they now do those of drugs. ~Woods Hutchinson, A.M., M.D.

Health: The mind has great influence over the body, and maladies often have their origin there. ~Jean Baptiste Moliere

Health: The most important thing in illness is never to lose heart. ~Nikolai Lenin

Health: The part can never be well unless the whole is well. ~Plato

Health: The physician who teaches people to sustain their health is the superior physician. The physician who waits to treat people until after their health is lost is considered to be inferior. This is like waiting until one's family is starving to begin to plant seeds in the garden. ~Author unknown, similar to statement in

Health: The root of all health is in the brain. The trunk of it is in emotion. The branches and leaves are the body. The flower of health blooms when all parts work together. ~Kurdish Saying

Health: The scientific truth may be put quite briefly; eat moderately, having an ordinary mixed diet, and don't worry. ~Robert Hutchison, 1932

Health: The trouble with always trying to preserve the health of the body is that it is so difficult to do without destroying the health of the mind. ~G.K. Chesterton

Health: There are some remedies worse than the disease. ~Publilius Syrus

Health: There are two things in life that a sage must preserve at every sacrifice, the coats of his stomach and the enamel of his teeth. Some evils admit of consolations, but there are no comforters for dyspepsia and the toothache. ~Henry Lytton Bulwer

Health: There is something in sickness that breaks down the pride of manhood. ~Charles Dickens

Health: There were lymph glands that might do him in.... There were fertile red meadows of epithelial tissue to catch and coddle a cancer cell.... There were billions of conscientious body cells oxidating away day and night like dumb animals at their complicated job of keeping him alive and healthy, and every one was a potential traitor and foe. There were so many diseases that it took a truly diseased mind to even think about them as often as he and Hungry Joe did. Hungry Joe collected lists of fatal diseases and arranged them in alphabetical order so that he could put his finger without delay on any one he wanted to worry about. ~Joseph Heller

Health: There's lots of people in this world who spend so much time watching their health that they haven't the time to enjoy it. ~Josh Billings

Health: Those obsessed with health are not healthy; the first requisite of good health is a certain calculated carelessness about oneself. ~Sydney J. Harris

Health: To avoid sickness eat less; to prolong life worry less. ~Chu Hui Weng

Health: To be always considering "what we should eat, and what we should drink, and wherewithal we should be clothed," in order to avoid the approach of disease, is the most likely means of provoking its attack. A man who is continually feeling his pulse, is never likely to have a good one. If he swallow his food from the same motive as he does his physic, it will neither be enjoyed nor digested so well as if he ate in obedience to the dictates of an uncalculating appetite. The hypochondriac who is in the habit of weighing his meals, will generally find that they lay heavy on his stomach. If he take a walk or ride, with no other view than to pick up health, he will seldom meet it on the road. ~John Reid, M.D.

Health: To ensure good health: eat lightly, breathe deeply, live moderately, cultivate cheerfulness, and maintain an interest in life. ~William Londen

Health: To feel keenly the poetry of a morning's roses, one has to have just escaped from the claws of this vulture which we call sickness. ~Henri Frederic Amiel

Health: To live without love, compassion, or any other spiritual value creates a state of such severe imbalance that every cell yearns to correct it. Ultimately, that is what lies behind the onset of disease; the body is sending a message that something lacking in the present—an imbalance existing somewhere—has given rise to highly visible, unarguable, physical symptoms. ~Deepak Chopra

Health: Water, air, and cleanliness are the chief articles in my pharmacopoeia. ~Napoleon I

Health: We drink one another's health and spoil our own. ~Jerome K. Jerome

Health: Wellbeing starves addiction. ~Terri Guillemets

Health: What health is to the body, even that is honesty to the soul. Develop your spirit that it may gain strength to control the body and follow the natural laws of nutrition and hygiene. ~Kemetic Wisdom

Health: What man is happy? He who has a healthy body, a resourceful mind, and a docile nature. ~Thales of Miletus, translated from Greek

Health: What some call health, if purchased by perpetual anxiety about diet, isn't much better than tedious disease. ~George Dennison Prentice

Health: When a man is ill his very goodness is sickly. ~Friedrich Nietzsche

Health: When an illness knocks you on your ass, you should stay and relax for a while before trying to get back up. ~Terri Guillemets

Health: When it comes to eating right and exercising, there is no "I'll start tomorrow." Tomorrow is disease. ~Terri Guillemets

Health: When the head aches, all the body is the worse. ~English Proverb

Health: With every pill we have prescribed for us we should also be given a creative prayer, a suggested way to correct our destructive patterns of thought. ~Ernest Holmes

Health: Without discipline in spiritual pursuits, the central nervous system doesn't have a chance to adjust and grow with the increased demand. It would be like putting a high voltage into a small bulb-it is bound to explode. ~Swami Sivananda Radha

Health: You are as important to your health as it is to you. ~Terri Guillemets
