Definitions and quotes

Mind
The mind is a set of cognitive faculties including consciousness, perception, thinking, judgement, language and memory. It is usually defined as the faculty of an entity's thoughts and consciousness. It holds the power of imagination, recognition, and appreciation, and is responsible for processing feelings and emotions, resulting in attitudes and actions.
Mind
Acclinis falsis animus meliora recusat.
A mind that is charmed by false appearances refuses better things.
Body
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success. This is the way great spiritual giants are produced.
Swami Vivekananda (2009), in Swami Vivekananda's Rousing Call to Hindu Nation, p. 141
Body
Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.
Thomas Jefferson, in The Best of the Kambulow (1 June 2003), p. 642
