Line 1:
'''Mens sana in corpore sano''' is a famous [[Latin language|Latin]] quotation from [[Juvenal]] (Satire X line 356).
It translates as "'''A sound mind in a sound body'''." The loosely-translated meaning in English for the phrase is "A healthy mind in a healthy body." Over time, the phrase has come to mean that only a healthy body can produce or sustain a healthy mind.
The phrase is taken from a longer sentence, "Orandum est ut sit mens sana in corpore sano," which may be translated: "You should pray for a healthy mind in a healthy body," which is a very different thing than the current meaning above.
