Even diseases have lost their prestige, there aren’t so many of them left.

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

Health care delivery is one of the tragedies still in America.

The beginning of health lies in knowing the disease.

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.

Disease is not of the body but of the place.

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

Ours is an age which consciously pursues health, and yet only believes in the reality of sickness.

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

How sickness enlarges the dimension of a man’s self to himself! He is his own exclusive object.

Health in all lands is among the indispensable guarantees of human progress.

Infectious disease is one of the few genuine adventures left in the world.
