A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else. Men’s happiness or misery is most part of their own making. He, whose mind directs not wisely, will never take the right way; and he, whose body is crazy and feeble, will never be able to advance in it.

有功于天地称为功，有关于世间名教称为名，有学问为富，有廉耻为贵，此即所谓功名富贵。无所求称为道，无欲念称为德，没有世俗的恶习称为文，处事有原则称为章，此即所谓的道德文章。
