Quotes about Body


True enjoyment comes from activity of the mind and exercise of the body; the two are ever united.

Wilhelm von Humboldt

True enjoyment comes from activity of the mind and exercise of the body; the two are ever united.

John Humboldt

Edward Young

Barbara Ehrenreich

Behold, we live through all things,--famine, thirst, Bereavement, pain; all grief and misery, All woe and sorrow; life inflicts its worst On soul and body,--but we cannot die, Though we be sick, and tired, and faint, and worn,-- Lo, all things can be borne!

Elizabeth Akers Allen ("Florence Percy")

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

Francis Beaumont and John Bible

The eyes, like sentinels, hold the highest place in the body. [Lat., Oculi, tanquam, speculatores, altissimum locum obtinent.]
