quotations about health
The preservation of health is a duty. Few seem conscious that there is such a thing as physical morality.
HERBERT SPENCER
Education
Man needs difficulties; they are necessary for health.
CARL JUNG
The Transcendent Function
Men that look no farther than their outside, 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
attributed, Day's Collacon
Were a young man to write down a list of his duties, health should be among the first items in the catalogue; this is no exaggeration of its value, for health is indispensable to almost every form of human enjoyment.
