When the mind is
too big for the body its energy shakes the whole frame and fills it with
inner disorders…when a large body is joined to a small and feeble
mind…the soul is afflicted with the worst of all diseases, stupidity.
There is one safeguard against both dangers, which is to avoid
exercising either the body or mind without the other, and thus preserve
an equal and healthy balance between them.
Plato, Timaeus
