I have learned much from disease which life could never have taught me anywhere else.

If they prescribe a lot of remedies for some sickness or other, it means that the sickness is incurable.

It is strange indeed that the more we learn about how to build health, the less healthy Americans become.

The passion for setting people right is in itself an afflictive disease.

Men take diseases, one of another. Therefore let men take heed of their company.

The sick man is the parasite of society.

Health can make money, but money cannot make health.

What timid man does not avoid contact with the sick, fearing lest he contract a disease so near?

The best quarantine is hygiene.

’Tis the destroyer, or the devil, that scatters plagues about the world.

Men worry over the great number of diseases, while doctors worry over the scarcity of effective remedies.

Plagues are as certain as death and taxes.

He who dies of epidemic disease is a martyr.
