The diseases which destroy a man are no less natural than the instincts which preserve him.

All a man's affairs become diseased when he wishes to cure evils by evils.

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

Do you suppose there is any living man so unreasonable that if he found himself stricken with a dangerous ailment he would not anxiously desire to regain the blessing of health?

There are some who praise a man free from disease; to me no man who is poor seems free from disease but to be constantly sick.

Society is not a disease, it is a disaster. What a stupid miracle that one can live in it.

Man himself is a mysterious object, and the tools to probe his physiologic nature and function have developed only slowly through the millennia.

I believe a lot of disease comes from anxiety, loneliness.

Even if it had not been possible to reproduce the disease in animals and consequently to verify the hypothesis, this simple observation would have been sufficient to demonstrate the way in which the disease was propagated.
