“The longer I live, the more I am certified that men, in all that relates to their own health, have not common sense! whether it be their pride, or their impatience, or their obstinancy, or their ingrained spirit of contradiction, that stupefies and misleads them, the result is always a certain amount of idiocy, or distraction in their dealings with their own bodies! ... either by their wild impatience of bodily suffering, and the exaggerated moan they make over it, or else by their reckless defiance of it, and neglect of every dictate of prudence!” MenBodySpiritCertainSufferingResultsCommonPrideAmountCommon SenseRelateContradictionOver ItNeglectDistractionPrudenceRecklessImpatienceMisleadDefianceExaggeratedDealingsIdiocy Author:Jane Welsh Carlyle
“Nearly all our ills are the result of neglect in some way or other. And this truth may be said to apply to the ills of nations as well. Negligence is at the bottom of all decay. And decay always starts by showing little signs-or warnings. Then is the time to show interest and to be alert. There is nothing quite so easy as to neglect, and nothing quite so difficult as to repair that negligence. Negligence always carries a high price. It costs nothing to avoid it!” WayWellsMayLittlesSaidShowsNationsEasyDifficultInterestResultsCostBottomCarrieNeglectWarningDecayNegligenceHigh Prices Author:George Matthew Adams

A great portion of the rich seem to be acting on the principle, that the more God bestows on them, the less are they under obligation to practise any self-denial, in fulfilling his benevolent plan of raising our race to intelligence and holiness.” SelfSeemsWealthResultsActingRaceResponsibilityPrinciplesRichPlansAdvantageMereVariousSelfishObligationChiefsDenialSelfishnessHolinessNeglectPortionsFulfillingSocial ResponsibilityIndulgenceMischiefBenevolentPractiseSelf-denial Author:Catharine Beecher
