Quote by Lord Chesterfield

I find, by experience, that the mind and the body are more than married, for they are most intimately united and when one suffers, the other sympathizes.

Summary

This quote suggests that there is a strong connection between the mind and the body, to the point where they can be seen as being even more interconnected than a marriage.

It highlights the idea that the mind and body function in harmony and have a profound influence on each other's well-being.

Surely what a man does when he is taken off his guard is the best evidence for what sort of a man he is? Surely what pops out before the man has time to put on a disguise is the truth? If there are rats in a cellar you are most likely to see them if you go in very suddenly. But the suddenness does not create the rats: it only prevents them from hiding. In the same way the suddenness of the provocation does not make me an ill-tempered man; it only shows me what an ill-tempered man I am. The rats are always there in the cellar, but if you go in shouting and noisily they will have taken cover before you switch on the light.
