Famous quotes containing the words health and/or account:

    The philanthropist too often surrounds mankind with the remembrance of his own cast- off griefs as an atmosphere, and calls it sympathy. We should impart our courage, and not our despair, our health and ease, and not our disease, and take care that this does not spread by contagion.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I never could get on with representative individuals—but people who existed on their own account and with whom it might therefore be possible to be friends.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
