He who dies of epidemic disease is a martyr.

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

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.

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

It is strange indeed that the more we learn about how to build health, the less healthy Americans become.

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

The beginning of health lies in knowing the disease.

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

Plagues are as certain as death and taxes.

Health can make money, but money cannot make health.

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

The sick man is the parasite of society.
