“As a people, we have become obsessed with Health. There is something fundamentally, radically unhealthy about all this. We do not seem to be seeking more exuberance in living as much as staving off failure, putting off dying. We have lost all confidence in the human body.”

– Lewis Thomas, The Medusa and the Snail, 1979

Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.

– Benjamin Franklin

He who has health, has hope. And he who has hope, has everything.

– Arabian proverb
