Medicine is the restoration of discordant elements; sickness is the discord of the elements infused into the living body.

Our body is dependant on Heaven and Heaven on the Spirit.

Thirst will parch your tongue and your body will waste through lack of sleep ere you can describe in words that which painting instantly sets before the eye

A beautiful body perishes, but a work of art dies not.

I have found that, in the composition of the human body as compared with the bodies of animals, the organs of sense are duller and coarser. Thus, it is composed of less ingenious instruments, and of spaces less capacious for receiving the faculties of sense.

The spirit desires to remain with its body, because, without the organic instruments of that body, it can neither act, nor feel anything.
