artoparts commented on the word mens sana in corpore sano
From the famous phrase by a Roman lampoonist named Juvenails, "Mens Sana In Corpore Sano" (If you pray to God, you should pray for a sound mind in a sound body) the late founder of ASICS, Kihachiro Onitsuka took the initial letters of the phrase, changing the "Mens" to "Anima" which gives more of an active nuance of the mind. Go to Anima Sana In Corpore Sano
