Famous quotes containing the words general and/or hospital:
“What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“The church is a sort of hospital for men’s souls, and as full of quackery as the hospital for their bodies. Those who are taken into it live like pensioners in their Retreat or Sailor’s Snug Harbor, where you may see a row of religious cripples sitting outside in sunny weather.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
