Be thou comforted, little dog, Thou too in Resurrection shall have a little golden tail.

The year I was born, 1955, the first big disease-eradication program in the world was declared for malaria. After about a decade of work, they realized that, at least in the tropical areas, they did not have the tools to get it done.

I like being comfortable at airports, in flip-flops with no jewelry on.

I’ll never feel comfortable taking a strong drink, and I’ll never feel easy smoking a cigarette. I just don’t think those things are right for me.

I see the church as a field hospital after battle. It is useless to ask a seriously injured person if he has high cholesterol and about the level of his blood sugars. You have to heal his wounds. Then we can talk about everything else.

When I go to the clinic next and sit with a tube in my arm and watch the poison go in, I’m in an attitude of abject passivity. It doesn’t feel like fighting at all; it just feels like submitting.

Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all – the apathy of human beings.

Men should be either treated generously or destroyed, because they take revenge for slight injuries – for heavy ones they cannot.

I have lost my mental faculties but am perfectly well.

Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.

I believe that the greatest gift you can give your family and the world is a healthy you.

When I was president, I announced and I still maintain that I can live with Roe v. Wade. I did everything I possibly could as president under that ruling, which I don’t think ought to be changed, to minimize the need for abortions. I think every abortion is a result of a horrible series of errors on the part of people involved.

I think audiences are quite comfortable watching something coming into being.

I just feel so much more comfortable and confident every game I play.

Heaven gives us hope and makes our present burdens easier to bear.

In a disordered mind, as in a disordered body, soundness of health is impossible.

With any recovery from morbidity there must go a certain healthy humiliation.

It was 1996 and I was at a crossroads in my career. I had been working in Hollywood as a writer and was very unhappy. I had pitched an idea for a book some six months earlier, and the book packager, Joost Elffers, wanted me to write up a treatment for it.

That we are not much sicker and much madder than we are is due exclusively to that most blessed and blessing of all natural graces, sleep.

I am certain no one sets out to be cruel, but our treatment of the elderly ill seems to have no philosophy to it. As a society, we should establish whether we have a policy of life at any cost.

It’s far more important to know what person the disease has than what disease the person has.

One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.

An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.

Encouragement to all women is – let us try to offer help before we have to offer therapy. That is to say, let’s see if we can’t prevent being ill by trying to offer a love of prevention before illness.

What charitable 1 percenters can’t do is assume responsibility – America’s national responsibilities: the care of its sick and its poor, the education of its young, the repair of its failing infrastructure, the repayment of its staggering war debts.

I love New York. I’m a guy for whom a New York accent is a comforting thing.

I have the problems of, I must confess, old age.

At first, I was called a quack, a charlatan, and worse, year after year, in Australia, England and the United States, by men who simply refused to believe that a nurse from ‚the bush‘ could devise a treatment which succeeded where they had failed.

This healthy eating stuff, it’s here to stay, and we now have everything we need to seize the opportunity and give all our kids the healthy futures they so richly deserve.

It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.

People shop for a bathing suit with more care than they do a husband or wife. The rules are the same. Look for something you’ll feel comfortable wearing. Allow for room to grow.

I’m much healthier now.

The dieting wars have got to stop.

Attention to health is life’s greatest hindrance.

Every nurse ought to be careful to wash her hands very frequently during the day. If her face, too, so much the better.

You’ve got to watch the politics of AIDS. The politics of AIDS can work both for and against the victims of AIDS.

But if you – if what – the reports are true, what they’re saying is, is that as a consequence of us getting 30 million additional people health care, at the margins that’s going to increase our costs, we knew that.

I’m certainly well taken care of in terms of food and clothes.

Wise and humane management of the patient is the best safeguard against infection.

Having a bunch of cats around is good. If you’re feeling bad, you just look at the cats, you’ll feel better because they know that everything is just as it is. There’s nothing to get excited about. They just know. They’re saviours.

A true friend encourages us, comforts us, supports us like a big easy chair, offering us a safe refuge from the world.

See, that’s why Barack’s running: to end the war in Iraq responsibly – to build an economy that lifts every family, to make sure health care is available for every American – and to make sure that every child in this nation has a world-class education all the way from preschool to college.
