“I look upon a good physician, not so properly as a servant to nature, as one, that is a counsellor and friendly assistant, who, in his patient's body, furthers those motions and other things, that he judges conducive to the welfare and recovery of it; but as to those, that he perceives likely to be hurtful, either by increasing the disease, or otherwise endangering the patient, he thinks it is his part to oppose or hinder, though nature do manifestly enough seem to endeavour the exercising or carrying on those hurtful motions.” ThinkingLooksEnoughBodySeemsScienceJudgingExerciseDiseasePatientRecoveryPerceiveServantWelfareLook UpFriendlyPhysiciansDiagnosisAssistantsHinderEndeavourHurtfulCarrying OnCounsellors Book:Robert Boyle: A Free Enquiry Into the Vulgarly Received Notion of Nature Source: Robert Boyle: A Free Enquiry Into the Vulgarly Received Notion of Nature
“The mind must become the servant of the intellect, not the slave of the senses. It must discriminate and detach itself from the body.

“I am delighted to have you play football. I believe in rough, manly sports. But I do not believe in them if they degenerate into the sole end of any one's existence. I don't want you to sacrifice standing well in your studies to any over-athleticism; and I need not tell you that character counts for a great deal more than either intellect or body in winning success in life. Athletic proficiency is a mighty good servant, and like so many other good servants, a mighty bad master.” IfsWantNeedsBelieveWellsEndsPlayCharacterBodyWinningI BelieveSportsDealsExistenceStudySacrificeFootballMastersStandingI Believe InIntellectSoccerServantRoughSoleSuccess In LifeAthleticDelightedManlyDegeneratesProficiencyAthleticism Book:Theodore Roosevelt's Letters to His Children Source: Theodore Roosevelt's Letters to His Children
