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

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

He who can believe himself well,
will be well.

Ovid

Health is a large word. It
embraces not the body only, but the
mind and spirit as well;...and not
today's pain or pleasure alone, but
the whole being and outlook of a
man.

James H. West

An imaginary ailment is worse than
a disease.

Yiddish Proverb

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

Sometimes I get the feeling the
aspirin companies are sponsoring my
headaches.

Terri Guillemets

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 Is Normal"

Gold that buys health can never be
ill spent.

Thomas Dekker

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
