The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air

Your will they'll mend
And charge you not a shilling.
~Nursery rhyme quoted by Wayne Fields, What the River Knows, 1990
He who takes medicine and neglects to diet wastes the skill of his doctors. ~Chinese Proverb
If I'd known I was going to live so long, I'd have taken better care of myself. ~Leon Eldred
Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint. ~Mark Twain

If the pain wanders, do not waste your time with doctors. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960
The... patient should be made to understand that he or she must take charge of his own life. Don't take your body to the doctor as if he were a repair shop. ~Quentin Regestein
I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol. ~Author Unknown
Joy and Temperance and Repose
Slam the door on the doctor's nose.

The longer I live the less confidence I have in drugs and the greater is my confidence in the regulation and administration of diet and regimen. ~John Redman Coxe, 1800
A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book. ~Irish Proverb

Men that look no further than their outsides, think health an appurtenance unto life, and quarrel with their constitutions for being sick; but I that have examined the parts of man, and know upon what tender filaments that fabric hangs, do wonder that we are not always so; and considering the thousand doors that lead to death, do thank my God that we can die but once. ~Thomas Browne
When it comes to eating right and exercising, there is no "I'll start tomorrow." Tomorrow is disease. ~Terri Guillemets
What some call health, if purchased by perpetual anxiety about diet, isn't much better than tedious disease. ~George Dennison Prentice, Prenticeana, 1860
