Famous quotes containing the words health and/or concerns:
“You will hardly know who I am or what I mean,
But I shall be good health to you nevertheless,
And filter and fibre your blood.
Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged,
Missing me one place search another,
I stop somewhere waiting for you.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“In what concerns you much, do not think that you have companions: know that you are alone in the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
