We employ the mind to rule, the body to serve.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If we do not lay out ourselves in the service of mankind whom should we serve?
The high destiny of the individual is to serve rather than to rule.
God wants us to serve willingly and obediently.
To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.
Experience teaches that when the will and imagination are in conflict, the imagination usually wins. What we imagine may defeat our reason and make us slaves to what we taste, see, hear, smell, and feel in the mind's eye. The body is indeed the servant of the mind.
The body has a mind of its own.
There are many ways to serve.
We should love the body insofar as it is obedient and helpful to the soul, since the soul, with the body's help and service, is better disposed for the service and praise of our Creator and Lord.
Our identities have no bodies, so, unlike you, we cannot obtain order by physical coercion. We believe that from ethics, enlightened self-interest, and the commonweal, our governance will emerge.
Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack. We give it orders which make no sense.
