Just as it would be madness to settle on medical treatment for the body of a person by taking an opinion poll of the neighbors, so it is irrational to prescribe for the body politic by polling the opinions of the people at large.
The greatest mistake physicians make is that they attempt to cure the body without attempting to cure the mind, yet the mind and the body are one and should not be treated separately!
In order for man to succeed in life, God provided him with two means, education and physical activity. Not separately, one for the soul and the other for the body, but for the two together. With these means, man can attain perfection.
If the head and the body are to be well, you must begin by curing the soul.
The purpose of education is to give to the body and to the soul all the beauty and all the perfection of which they are capable.
You ought not to heal the body without the soul, for this is the great error of our day in treating the human body.
