Famous quotes containing the word health:

    “Mens sana in men’s sauna, in the flush
    Of health and toilets, private and corporal glee,”
    —Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)

    “Our young people are diseased with the theological problems of original sin, origin of evil, predestination, and the like. These never presented a practical difficulty to any man,—never darkened across any man’s road, who did not go out of his way to seek them. These are the soul’s mumps, and measles, and whooping- coughs, and those who have not caught them cannot describe their health or prescribe a cure. A simple mind will not know these enemies.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “[The health plan was] constructed to be deconstructed. [Instead,] it was described as an ultimatum by our opponents and therefore used to undermine the process of reaching agreement.”
    —Hillary Rodham Clinton (b. 1947)
