—David Hume (1711–1776)
“The awareness that health is dependent upon habits that we control makes us the first generation in history that to a large extent determines its own destiny.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
