“A sound mind in a sound body, is a short but full description of a happy state in this world.”
John Locke book Some Thoughts Concerning Education

Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, 26th president of the United States

Context: Remember that in life, and above all in the very active, practical, workaday life on this continent, the man who wins out must be the man who works. He can not play all the time. He can not have play as his principal occupation and win out. Let him play; let him have as good a time as he can have. I have a pity that is akin to contempt for the man who does not have as good a time as he can out of life. But let him work. Let him count in the world. When he comes to the end of his life let him feel he has pulled his weight and a little more. A sound body is good; a sound mind is better; but a strong and clean character is better than either.
“The greatest thing in the small compass is a sound mind in a human body.”
Isocrates (-436–-338 BC) ancient greek rhetorician
Verse 40.
To Demonicus
Context: The greatest thing in the small compass is a sound mind in a human body. Strive with all your body to be a lover of toil, and with your soul to be a lover of wisdom, in order that with the one you may have the strength to carry out your resolves, and with the other the intelligence to foresee what is for your good.
