The wish for healing has always been half of health.

Health is the soul that animates all the enjoyments of life, which fade and are tasteless without it.

Genius always gives its best at first; prudence, at last.

We can be thankful to a friend for a few acres, or a little money; and yet for the freedom and command of the whole earth, and for the great benefits of our being, our life, health, and reason, we look upon ourselves as under no obligation.

No one can be happy who has been thrust outside the pale of truth. And there are two ways that one can be removed from this realm: by lying, or by being lied to.

The display of grief makes more demands than grief itself. How few men are sad in their own company.
