Keep that big gun going  (Norman Cousins Quotes) The marvelous pharmacy that was designed by nature and placed into our being by the universal architect produces most of the medicines we need  (Norman Cousins Quotes) War is an invention of the human mind.

Only people can perceive great truths. Governments specialize in small and intermediate truths.

It is a sense of the whole, a capacity for inspired response, a respect for the intricate universe of individual life. It is the supreme awareness of awareness itself  (Norman Cousins Quotes) You are younger today than you will ever be again. Make use of it for the sake of tomorrow  (Norman Cousins Quotes) Never deny a diagnosis, but do deny the negative verdict that may go with it  (Norman Cousins Quotes) The doctor knows that it is the prescription slip itself, even more than what is written on it, that is often the vital ingredient for enabling a patient to get rid of whatever is ailing him  (Norman Cousins Quotes) Words have to be crafted, not sprayed. They need to be fitted together with infinite care  (Norman Cousins Quotes) All things are possible, once enough human beings realize that everything is at stake  (Norman Cousins Quotes) Although a man may have no jurisdiction over the fact of his existence, he can hold supreme command over the meaning of existence for him  (Norman Cousins Quotes) Pain is part of the body’s magic. It is the way the body transmits a sign to the brain that something is wrong  (Norman Cousins Quotes) The heart of the matter is that some people like to cause injury or death to living things. And many of those who do not are indifferent to those who do  (Norman Cousins Quotes) Of all the gifts bestowed by nature on human beings, hearty laughter must be close to the top  (Norman Cousins Quotes) It is well known that panic, despair, depression, hate, rage, exasperation, frustration all produce negative biochemical changes in the body  (Norman Cousins Quotes) If news is not really news unless it is bad news, it may be difficult to claim we are an informed nation  (Norman Cousins Quotes) Laughter may or may not activate the endorphins or enhance respiration, as some medical researchers contend. What seems clear, however, is that laughter is an antidote to apprehension and panic  (Norman Cousins Quotes) More and more, the choice for the world’s people is between world warriors and world citizens  (Norman Cousins Quotes) Silence must be comprehended as not solely the absence of sound. It is the natural environment for serenity and contemplation. Life without silence is life without privacy. The difference between sanity and madness is the quality of our thoughts. Silence is on the side of sanity  (Norman Cousins Quotes) To be able to rise from the earth; to be able, from a station in outer space, to see the relationship of the planet earth to other planets; to be able to contemplate the billions of factors in precise and beautiful combination that make human existence possible; to be able to dwell on an encounter of the human brain and spirit with the universe  (Norman Cousins Quotes) What people most need now is to apply their conversion skills to those things that are essential for their survival. They need to convert facts into logic, free will into purpose, conscience into decision. They need to convert historical experience into a design for a sane world  (Norman Cousins Quotes)
