Plagues are as certain as death and taxes.

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

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

Disease generally begins that equality which death completes.

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

He who dies of epidemic disease is a martyr.

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

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

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

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

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

Health can make money, but money cannot make health.

I reckon being ill as one of the great pleasures of life, provided one is not too ill and is not obliged to work till one is better.
