Famous quotes containing the words diseases and/or pests:
“But what is quackery? It is commonly an attempt to cure the diseases of a man by addressing his body alone. There is need of a physician who shall minister to both soul and body at once, that is, to man. Now he falls between two stools.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“How we love sequestering, where no pests are pestering.”
—Lorenz Hart (1895–1943)
