Her time of preservation, which perforce
I her frail son amongst my brethren mortal
Must give my attendance to.

Health is like munny, we never have a true idea of its value until we lose it. ~Josh Billings
Adam and Eve ate the first vitamins, including the package. ~E.R. Squibb
Our body is a machine for living. It is organized for that, it is its nature. Let life go on in it unhindered and let it defend itself, it will do more than if you paralyze it by encumbering it with remedies. ~Leo Tolstoy
Gold that buys health can never be ill spent. ~Thomas Dekker, Westward Ho, 1604
Disease is somatic; the suffering from it, psychic. ~Martin H. Fischer
Health of body and mind is a great blessing, if we can bear it. ~John Henry Cardinal Newman
With every pill we have prescribed for us we should also be given a creative prayer, a suggested way to correct our destructive patterns of thought. ~Ernest Holmes, "Health Is Normal"

A healthy body is the guest-chamber of the soul; a sick, its prison. ~Francis Bacon
An imaginary ailment is worse than a disease. ~Yiddish Proverb
Health is a large word. It embraces not the body only, but the mind and spirit as well;... and not today's pain or pleasure alone, but the whole being and outlook of a man. ~James H. West
He who can believe himself well, will be well. ~Ovid

Know, then, whatever cheerful and serene
Supports the mind supports the body too.
~John Armstrong
I am pretty sure that, if you will be quite honest, you will admit that a good rousing sneeze, one that tears open your collar and throws your hair into your eyes, is really one of life's sensational pleasures. ~Robert Benchley, "Hiccoughing Makes Us Fat," No Poems: or around the world backwards and sideways, 1932
Stretching oneself too thin is the disease of modern life - letting oneself get too thick, the other. ~Terri Guillemets
Physick, for the most part, is nothing else but the Substitute of Exercise or Temperance. ~Joseph Addison

Men make use of their illnesses at least as much as they are made use of by them. ~Aldous Huxley
The most important thing in illness is never to lose heart. ~Nikolai Lenin
The message that underlies healing is simple yet radical: We are already whole.... Underneath our fears and worries, unaffected by the many layers of our conditioning and actions, is a peaceful core. The work of healing is peeling away the barriers of fear that keep us unaware of our true nature of love, peace, and rich interconnection with the web of life. Healing is the rediscovery of who we are and who we have always been. ~Joan Borysenko
The part can never be well unless the whole is well. ~Plato
The cure of the part should not be attempted without the cure of the whole. ~Plato
Illnesses which occur because of physical causes should be treated by doctors with medical remedies; those which are due to spiritual causes disappear through spiritual means. Thus an illness caused by affliction, fear, nervous impressions, will be healed more effectively by spiritual rather than physical treatment. Hence, both kinds of treatment should be followed; they are not contradictory. ~'Abdu'l-Bahá
The scientific truth may be put quite briefly; eat moderately, having an ordinary mixed diet, and don't worry. ~Robert Hutchison, 1932
It is part of the cure to want to be cured. ~Seneca
I am at the moment deaf in the ears, hoarse in the throat, red in the nose, green in the gills, damp in the eyes, twitchy in the joints and fractious in temper from a most intolerable and oppressive cold. ~Charles Dickens
If by gaining knowledge we destroy our health, we labour for a thing that will be useless in our hands. ~John Locke
To avoid sickness eat less; to prolong life worry less. ~Chu Hui Weng
What health is to the body, even that is honesty to the soul. Develop your spirit that it may gain strength to control the body and follow the natural laws of nutrition and hygiene. ~Kemetic Wisdom
When the head aches, all the body is the worse. ~English Proverb
The cause is within us. The cure is within us. When we know this our concept of disease is no longer that of something fixed upon the body cells which must be purged, cut or burned away. It is not something coming in from the outside which we cannot prevent. Rather it is a change from within, and we must find the reason why the body changes its perfect pattern to vibrate to discord rather than to harmony. ~Rebecca Beard, 1951
The doctor of the future will give no medicines, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the causes and prevention of disease. ~Thomas Edison
Healthy people are invalids who don't know it. ~Jules Romains, Dr. Knock, 1923
The surest road to health, say what they will,
Is never to suppose we shall be ill.
Most of those evils we poor mortals know
From doctors and imagination flow.
~Charles Churchill
I suspect that we are all recipients of cosmic love notes. Messages, omens, voices, cries, revelations, and appeals are homogenized into each day's events. If only we knew how to listen, to read the signs. ~Sam Keen
When a man is ill his very goodness is sickly. ~Friedrich Nietzsche
Much of your pain is self-chosen. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. ~Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet, 1923
The deviation of man from the state in which he was originally placed by nature seems to have proved to him a prolific source of disease. ~Edward Jenner
There is something in sickness that breaks down the pride of manhood. ~Charles Dickens
People with diseases like AIDS and cancer feel an urgency in straightening out their lives, examining their purpose, and confronting the reality of death. Ironically, in spite of the physical and emotional pain they experience, many of these patients express gratitude for this opportunity. The encounter with their own mortality changes their priorities in life, their values and aspirations. For many, it makes them truly cherish life and the ability to give and receive love. ~Jeff Seibert
Everyone should be his own physician. We ought to assist and not force nature. Eat with moderation what agrees with your constitution. Nothing is good for the body but what we can digest. What medicine can produce digestion? Exercise. What will recruit strength? Sleep. What will alleviate incurable ills? Patience. ~Voltaire
Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease. ~Hippocrates
I am convinced that unconditional love is the most powerful known stimulant of the immune system. If I told patients to raise their blood levels of immune globulins or killer T cells, no one would know how. But if I can teach them to love themselves and others fully, the same changes happen automatically. The truth is: love heals. ~Bernie Siegel
You can learn to follow the inner self, the inner physician that tells you where to go. Healing is simply attempting to do more of those things that bring joy and fewer of those things that bring pain. ~O. Carl Simonton
You are as important to your health as it is to you. ~Terri Guillemets
Every day we touch what is wrong, and, as a result, we are becoming less and less healthy. That is why we have to learn to practice touching what is not wrong—inside us and around us. When we get in touch with our eyes, our heart, our liver, our breathing, and our non-toothache and really enjoy them, we see that the conditions for peace and happiness are already present. ~Thich Nhat Hanh
The mechanisms of vis medicatrix naturæ—the most healing power of nature—are so effective that most diseases are self-terminating. ~René Dubos
The physician who teaches people to sustain their health is the superior physician. The physician who waits to treat people until after their health is lost is considered to be inferior. This is like waiting until one's family is starving to begin to plant seeds in the garden. ~Author unknown, similar to statement in The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine
Most of the time we think we're sick, it's all in the mind. ~Thomas Wolfe
Bacteria keeps us from heaven and puts us there. ~Martin H. Fischer
Health and cheerfulness naturally beget each other. ~Joseph Addison
It is a lot harder to keep people well than it is to just get them over a sickness. ~DeForest Clinton Jarvis
Life is not merely to be alive, but to be well. ~Marcus Valerius Martial
There are some remedies worse than the disease. ~Publilius Syrus
Nearly all men die of their remedies, and not of their illnesses. ~Jean Baptiste Molière, Le Malade Imaginaire
The mind has great influence over the body, and maladies often have their origin there. ~Jean Baptiste Molière
Illness tells us what we are. ~Italian Saying
The marvelous pharmacy that was designed by nature and placed into our being by the universal architect produces most of the medicines we need. ~Norman Cousins
