Famous quotes containing the word diseases:

    “But what is quackery? It is commonly an attempt to cure the diseases of a man by addressing his body alone. There is need of a physician who shall minister to both soul and body at once, that is, to man. Now he falls between two stools.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
