The wish for healing has ever been the half of health.

Use your health, even to the point of wearing it out. That is what it is for. Spend all you have before you die; and do not outlive yourself.

Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick.

Since we cannot promise our selves constant health, let us endeavour at such temper as may be our best support in the decay of it.

When we are well, we all have good advice for those who are ill.

It is a distortion, with something profoundly disloyal about it, to picture the human being as a teetering, fallible contraption, always needing, watching and patching, always on the verge of flapping to pieces.

Health is the vital principle of bliss, And exercise of health.

I think the anti-smoking business is a yuppie invention-an extension of the concept that "we'll always be young, rich, and healthy."

Quit worrying about your health. It'll go away.

It's no longer a question of staying healthy. It's a question of finding a sickness you like.
