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

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

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

Disease is not of the body but of the place.

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

He who dies of epidemic disease is a martyr.

Health can make money, but money cannot make health.

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

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

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

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

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

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