About this Quote

This quote by Gilbert K. Chesterton is a suggestion that there is more to life than just physical health and hygiene. It is very important to take care of our bodies, but it is likewise crucial to take care of our minds and souls. We need to not become so obsessed with physical health that we forget to take care of our psychological and emotional health. Chesterton is recommending that we ought to take a healthy view of physical health and hygiene, but also acknowledge that there is more to life than simply these things. We should strive for balance and not end up being too concentrated on one element of our lives. We must also have the ability to take a healthy indifference to physical health and hygiene, and recognize that it is not the only thing that matters.
