Mens sana in corpore sano is a famous quotation by Decimus Iunius Iuvenalis.
The loosely-translated meaning in English for the phrase is "a healthy mind in a healthy body".
The phrase is taken from a longer sentence orandum est ut sit mens sana in corpore sano suggesting the interpretation, "you have to pray for a sane mind in a healthy body".
