Famous quotes containing the words health and/or care:
“The health of the soul is something we can be no more sure of than that of the body; and though a man may seem far from the passions, yet he is in as much danger of falling into them as one in a perfect state of health of having a fit of sickness.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“How a child is taught affects his image of himself, which in turn, influences what he will dare and care to try to learn. The interdependence of the two is inescapable.”
—Barbara Biber (20th century)
