Let medicine be your food and

food be your medicine.

-Hippocrates

As we let our own light shine,

we unconsciously give other people

permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fears,

our presence automatically

liberates others.

- Nelson Mandela

Inaugural Speech, 1994

To take medicine only when you are

sick is like digging a well only when you

are thirsty. Is it not already

too late?

-Ch'i Po, circa 2500 BC
