“The mortal enemies of man are not his fellows of another continent or race; they are the aspects of the physical world which limit or challenge his control, the disease germs that attack him and his domesticated plants and animals, and the insects that carry many of these germs as well as working notable direct injury.

“Disease generally begins that equality which death completes; the distinctions which set one man so much above another are very little perceived in the gloom of a sick chamber, where it will be vain to expect entertainment from the gay, or instruction from the wise; where all human glory is obliterated, the wit is clouded, the reasoner perplexed, and the hero subdued; where the highest and brightest of mortal beings finds nothing left him but the consciousness of innocence.” MenHumansLittlesLeftConsciousnessWiseHeroGayDiseaseHighestGlorySickEntertainmentWitMortalsInnocenceVainDistinctionOne ManInstructionChamberGloomCloudedPerplexed Book:The Rambler: In Four Volumes..

“If God causes man to be sick, sickness must be good, and its opposite, health, must be evil, for all that He makes is good and will stand forever. If the transgression of God's law produces sickness, it is right to be sick; and we cannot if we would, and should not if we could, annul the decrees of wisdom. It is the transgression of a belief of mortal mind, not of a law of matter nor of divine Mind, which causes the belief of sickness. The remedy is Truth, not matter,--the truth that disease is unreal.” IfsMenShouldMindMatterLawEvilBeliefCausesForeverProduceDivineDiseaseOppositesSickIllnessBe GoodMortalsSicknessRemedyUnrealDecreeTransgression Author:Mary Baker Eddy
