The sicknesses of the soul have their ups and downs like those of the body; what we take to be a cure is most often merely a respite or change of disease.

It is a wearisome disease to preserve health by too strict a regimen.

Preserving health by too severe a rule is a worrisome malady.

As the great ones of this world are unable to bestow health of body or peace of mind, we always pay too high a price for any good they can do.

Sobriety is concern for one's health - or limited capacity.

Strength and weakness of mind are misnomers; they are really nothing but the good or bad health of our bodily organs.

The distempers of the soul have their relapses, as many and as dangerous as those of the body; and what we take for a perfect cureis generally either an abatement of the same disease or the changing of that for another.
