Rest Day

"From time immemorial, mankind has struggled for existence against the hazards of the elements, wild animals, pestilence, and a common enemy, fellow man. The determining factor in his agility to cope with the environment has rested largely up on the individual's own physical prowess, mental alertness, and general well being, for history records the story of a survival of the fit."

• From Mass Exercise, chapter 1, The Need for Physical Education, United States Naval Institute, 1943
