Famous quotes containing the words health and/or care:

    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)

    I recommend to you to take care of the minutes; for hours will take care of themselves.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
