Is not, as you conceive, indisposition
Of body, but the mind's disease.”

“The sick in body call for aid: the sick
In mind are covetous of more disease;
And when at worst, they dream themselves quite well.
To know ourselves diseased, is half our cure.”

“Prayer is the force as real as terrestrial gravity. As a physician, I have seen men, after all other therapy had failed, lifted out of disease and melancholy by the serene effort of prayer. Only in prayer do we achieve that complete and harmonious assembly of body, mind and spirit which gives the frail human reed its unshakable strength.”

“The confusion of mind you dub honor is a disease.”

“… humanity is a disease, a cancer on the body of the world.”

“What the mind can conceive and believe, and the heart desire, you can achieve.”

“The mind, like the body, has its contagious diseases and its scurvy. …[W]e catch everything from those with whom we come in contact; their gestures, their accent, etc.”

“It is chronic water shortage in the body that causes most diseases of the human body.

“Words are the physicians of a mind diseased.”

“Disease of the home and of the life comes about in the same way as that of the body.”
