Do you know talk is a real thing? There is more power in speech than many conceive. Thoughts come from God and are born through the marriage of head and lungs. The head molds the thought into the form of words, then it is born and sounded on the air, which has been, already, in the secret kingdoms of the body, which goes in bearing life and comes out freighted with wisdom.
For this reason, a lie is very terrible, because it is turning mighty and incomprehensible things to base uses, and it is burdening the life-giving element with a foul return for its goodness; but those who speak the truth and whose words are the symbols of wisdom and beauty, these purify the whole and daunt contagion.
The only trouble the body can know is disease. All other miseries come from the brain, and, as these belong to thought, they can be driven out by their master as unruly and unrepentant vagabonds; for a mental trouble should be spoken to, confronted, reprimanded and so dismissed. The brain cannot afford to harbor any but pleasant and eager citizens who will do their part in making laughter and holiness for the world, for that is the duty of thought.
