The human body is like a chain—it is only as strong as its weakest link.

The strength of the body is destroyed by violence and idleness, but preserved by exercise.

Big muscles do not always indicate vitality or good health; many so-called strong men have died comparatively young. Vitality is rather agility of mind and body and the ability of the latter to withstand and repulse attacks of disease.

Good health is the best heritage parents can transmit to their children.
