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

Everyone who is sick is someone else’s patient zero.

The best quarantine is hygiene.

The beginning of health lies in knowing the disease.

Disease makes men more physical, it leaves them nothing but body.

Death from the bubonic plague is rated, with crucifixion, among the nastiest human experiences of all.

All the world is topsy-turvy, and it has been topsy-turvy ever since the plague.

In times of pestilence, gaiety and joyousness are most profitable.

Disease generally begins that equality which death completes.

Health can make money, but money cannot make health.

He who dies of epidemic disease is a martyr.

We should always presume the disease to be curable until its own nature proves it otherwise.

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