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

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

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

Health can make money, but money cannot make health.

Diseases, at least many of them, are like human beings. They are born, they flourish, and they die.

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

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

Hygienic law, like martial law, supersedes rights in crises.

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

Plagues are as certain as death and taxes.

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.

He who dies of epidemic disease is a martyr.
