experience health requires wholesome
One must be out-of-doors enough to get experience of wholesome reality, as a ballast to thought and sentiment. Health requires this relaxation, this aimless life.
travel health doctors
To the sick the doctors wisely recommend a change of air and scenery.
nature health men
The same soil is good for men and for trees. A man's health requires as many acres of meadow to his prospect as his farm does loads of muck.
nature health sick
To the sick, indeed, nature is sick, but to the well, a fountain of health.

It would surpass the powers of a well man nowadays to take up his bed and walk, and I should certainly advise a sick one to lay down his bed and run.
summer heart health
A healthy man, indeed, is the complement of the seasons, and in winter, summer is in his heart.

truth health opposites
There are sure to be two prescriptions diametrically opposite.
health doctors religion
Heal yourselves, doctors; by God I live.

poetry healthy speech
Poetry is nothing but healthy speech.
apples doors healthy
What a healthy out-of-door appetite it takes to relish the apple of life, the apple of the world, then!
mental-health
Nothing is so much to be feared as fear.
