“There is but one Temple in the World; and that is the Body of Man.”
Novalis (1772–1801) German poet and writer
Variant translation: There is but one temple in the Universe and that is the Body of Man.

“Every man is the builder of a temple called his body.”
Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862) 1817-1862 American poet, essayist, naturalist, and abolitionist
