Tags: Carl Jung


Health! thou most august of the blessed goddesses, with thee may I spend the remainder of my life, mayest thou benignly dwell with me; for if there be any pleasure to be derived from riches, or if there be any other delight bestowed on men, or respite from pains, with thee, blessed health, all these flourish and beam effulgent like the spring arising from the graces; without thee no one is happy.

attributed, Day's Collacon

HORACE MANN

A Few Thoughts for a Young Man

Tags: Horace Mann


Men that look no farther than their outside, 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.
