There is an unbroken continuum from the wisdom of the body to the wisdom of the mind, from the wisdom of the individual to the wisdom of the race.

The very process of living is a continual interplay between the individual and his environment, often taking the form of a struggle resulting in injury or disease.

It is a disturbing fact that Western civilization, which claims to have achieved the highest standard of health in history, finds itself compelled to spend ever-increasing sums for the control of disease.

Human diversity makes tolerance more than a virtue; it makes it a requirement for survival.

In man, at least, satisfaction is commonly followed by boredom.

Clearly, health and disease cannot be defined merely in terms of anatomical, physiological, or mental attributes. Their real measure is the ability of the individual to function in a manner acceptable to himself and to the group of which he is a part.

Nature always strikes back. It takes all the running we can do to remain in the same place.
