Charm Quote by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

“Talk health. The dreary, never-changing tale Of mortal maladies is worn and stale. You cannot charm, or interest, or please By harping in that minor chord, disease. Say you are well, or all is well with you, And God shall hear your words and make them true.” quote by Ella Wheeler Wilcox — Download Open image
