Health is the requisite after morality

Summary

This quote suggests that maintaining good health should be a priority, second only to morality.

Without good health, it may be difficult to fulfill moral obligations and contribute effectively to society. Thus, the quote underscores the importance of caring for one's physical well-being as a foundation for leading a virtuous and fulfilling life.

One's own religion is after all a matter between oneself and one's Maker and no one else's.

I am approached with the most opposite opinions and advice,

I am approached with the most opposite opinions and advice, and that by religious men, who are equally certain that they represent the Divine will. I am sure that either the one or the other is mistaken in that belief, and perhaps in some respects both. I hope it will not be irreverent for me to say that if it is probable that God would reveal his will to others, on a point so connected with my duty, it might be supposed he would reveal it directly to me; for, unless I am more deceived in myself than I often am, it is my earnest desire to know the will of Providence in this matter. These are not, however, the days of miracles, and I suppose it will be granted that I am not to expect a direct revelation. I must study the plain, physical facts of the case, ascertain what is possible and learn what appears to be wise and right.
