Illness/physical

Famous quotes containing the words illness and/or physical:

    Thou wouldst be great;
    Art not without ambition, but without
    The illness should attend it. What thou wouldst highly
    That wouldst thou holily; wouldst not play false,
    And yet wouldst wrongly win.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Women are to be lifted up to a physical equality with man by placing upon their shoulders equal burdens of labor, equal responsibilities of state-craft; they are to be brought down from their altruistic heights by being released from all obligations of purity, loyalty, self-sacrifice, and made free of the world of passion and self-indulgence, after the model set them by men of low and materialistic ideals.
    Caroline Fairfield Corbin (b. c. 1835–?)
