I have notice, in addition to the link between diet and exercise, that if I am not eating enough, it's hard to beat the depression. One time I was feeling very depressed and after I forced myself to eat supper, my mood improved as it digested.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
