that does not have health. Health, that is physical prosperity, is a
duty.

And here, also, the soul is central. The clean heart, pure thoughts,
controlled appetites, aspiring hopes, these make health. Evil temper,
lust, worry, care, envy, these are the soul processes that disturb the
life and destroy health. Happiness is health, and happiness is wholly
of the heart. The soul is but the sum of all the things within, the
force that moves all things in life; if within the man looks up, then
he lives up; if the soul droops, he decays. What you are within
determines what you are without; he who is poor in heart, in this inner
life, will be poor in prosperity and weak in health, no matter how much
he possesses. But he who with his soul takes in the world of beauty,
of love, of joy, who reaches out to heaven and God, all these things
are his and he is rich and strong indeed.
