 Sound mind in sound body.

This famous proverb comes  from a poetry written by Roman poet named Juvenalis (60-136).
In his poetry there is a sentence in Latin;'mens sana in corpore sano ・・・).
It means you ought to pray for a healthy mind in a healthy body.

He wanted to say you shouldn't be greed so much !

I didn't know the real meaning of this proverb, so I consulted the dictionary or Google.

Hi! How've you been?



Nice proverb. I know this proverb in Japanese, but I didn't know it in English. 'Sound' has such kind of mean... It teach me a good lesson.



I don't want to be greed, I think.

See you.
