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

The beginning of health lies in knowing the disease.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The diseases of the present have little in common with the diseases of the past save that we die of them.

Plagues are as certain as death and taxes.

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

If we wait for a pandemic to appear, it will be too late to prepare.

Health can make money, but money cannot make health.
