graviores morbi corporis an animi, whether the diseases of the body or mind be more grievous, but there is no comparison, no doubt to be made of it, multo enim saevior longeque est atrocior animi, quam corporis cruciatus (Lemnius, lib. I, cap. 12), the diseases of the mind are far more grievous.
--Robt. Burton, Anat. Mel., 1.4.1.
