Mind, Character and Personality, Volume 2 - Ellen G. White

But often the work of those who have
important plans to consider and important
decisions to make is affected for evil by the results
of improper diet. A disordered stomach produces a
disordered, uncertain state of mind. Often it causes
irritability, harshness, or injustice. Many a plan that
would have been a blessing to the world has been
set aside, many unjust, oppressive, even cruel
measures have been carried, as the result of
diseased conditions due to wrong habits of
eating.—The Ministry of Healing, 309, 310 (1905).
Avoiding Overwork.—I hear of workers
whose health is breaking down under the strain of
the burdens they are bearing. This ought not to be.
God desires us to remember that we are mortal. We
are not to embrace too much in our work. We are
not to keep ourselves under such a strain that our
physical and mental powers shall be exhausted.
More workers are needed that some of the burdens
may be removed from those now so heavily loaded
down.—The Review and Herald, April 28, 1904.
(Evangelism, 660.)
