Inaction Detrimental to Health—Invalids should not allow themselves to sink down into a state of inaction. This is highly detrimental to health. The power of the will must be asserted; aversion to active exercise and the dread of all responsibility must be conquered. They can never recover health unless they shake off this listless, dreamy condition of mind and arouse themselves to action.—The Signs of the Times, June 15, 1882. {2MCP 604.2}

Passivitet er sundhedsskadelig — Svagelige personer bør ikke lade sig synke ned i en passivitetstilstand. Dette er meget skadelig for sundheden. Viljens kraft må forsvares; uvilje mod aktive øvelser og skræk for al ansvar må overvindes. Du kan aldrig genoprette sundheden medmindre de ryster denne sindets ligegyldighed og drømmetilstand af sig og værker sig selv til handling. — The Signs of the Times, June 15, 1882.
