I have to admit I was dismayed when I found out 'type A' refers to a category of risk for heart disease - I thought it was just a nickname my mom gave me! (Reese Witherspoon)
It is not, happily, within our power thus to work destruction in the universal womb of things; still within the sphere of human influence - which extends to the uttermost limit of our world's circumambient atmosphere - we can, and do, modify all nature's kingdom; bending towards good or ill, health or disease, harmony or discord, each part, each unit of the universal plan.

Frances Wright
It is impious to say that evil has its origin from God, because naught contrary is produced by the contrary. Life does not generate death, nor is darkness the beginning of light, nor is disease the maker of health, but in the changes of conditions there are transitions from one condition to the contrary. View quote
Basil of Caesarea
As a bodily disease cannot be healed, if it be concealed, or praised, thus also, neither can a remedy be applied to a diseased soul, which is badly guarded and protected. View quote
Stobaeus
I think science has begun to demonstrate that aging is a disease. If it is, it can be cured. View quote
Tom Robbins
Well, the most terrible fear that anybody should have is not war, is not a disease, not cancer or heart problems or food poisoning - it's a man or a woman without a sense of humor. View quote
Jonathan Winters
If anti-Semitism is a variety of racism, it is a most peculiar variety, with many unique characteristics. In my view as a historian, it is so peculiar that it deserves to be placed in a quite different category. I would call it an intellectual disease, a disease of the mind, extremely infectious and massively destructive. View quote
Paul Johnson
All my humor is based on destruction and despair. If the whole world were tranquil, without disease and violence, I'd be standing in the bread line - right in back of J. Edgar Hoover. View quote
Lenny Bruce
It seems that when you have cancer you are a brave battler against the disease, but when you have Alzheimer's you are an old fart. That's how people see you. It makes you feel quite alone. View quote
Terry Pratchett
I regarded finding I had a form of Alzheimer's as an insult, and I decided to do my best to marshal any kind of forces that I could against this wretched disease. I have posterior cortical atrophy or PCA. They say, rather ingenuously, that if you have Alzheimer's it's the best form of Alzheimer's to have. View quote
Terry Pratchett
The bravest person I've ever met was a young boy going through massive amounts of treatment for a very rare, complex and unpleasant disease. I last saw him at a Discworld convention, where he chose to take part in a game as an assassin. He died not long afterwards, and I wish I had his fortitude and sense of style. (Terry Pratchett)
What I think a doctor should do is prevent disease, by any means necessary. View quote
Jack Kevorkian
Can we live in a world of brotherhood and peace without disease and fear and oppression? Si se puede. View quote
Dolores Huerta
It taught that the insane were inhabited by devils. Insanity was not a disease. It was produced by demons. It could be cured by prayers. View quote
Robert G. Ingersoll
Everywhere pain, disease and death-death that does not wait for bent forms and gray hairs, but clutches babes and happy youths. Death that takes the mother from her helpless, dimpled child-death that fills the world with grief and tears. How can the orthodox Christian explain these things? View quote
Robert G. Ingersoll
We are in a world where vice, deformity, weakness, and disease are hereditary. In the presence of this immense and solemn truth rises the religion of the body. View quote
Robert G. Ingersoll
The planet's biggest problems have to do with sustainability, environmental decline, global poverty, disease, conflict and so forth. Really, they're all interconnected - it's one big problem, which is that the way we're doing things can't go on. View quote
Alex Steffen
To fix the fluctuating mass of theories, no man has suggested any other expedient than the construction of some new theory, to whose authority... all persons shall submit. The remedy is constantly augmenting the disease. View quote
Alexander Bryan Johnson
Cancer is an emotional disease. View quote
Marina Abramovic
Growing old: the most common mitochondrial disease of all? View quote
Anita Harding
The sun is still the number 1 factor in our energy balance. No matter how much people argue about CO2, they can't successfully explain the pre industrial revolution 900-1300AD Medieval Warming Period or the cold 1645-1715 AD Maunder Sunspot Minimum that coincided with European crop failure, famine and disease while linking it with our modern day issues with CO2 to climate change. Yet sunspots and solar cycles can and do explain both. (Anthony Watts)
It can postpone death, cure disease, release the captive, bring sight to the blind, clothe the naked, feed the hungry, destroy the despot, win the love of women, and procure all reasonable earthly happiness to any man who is not entirely too old. In course of time perhaps it may even resurrect the dead, create life and storm the very gates of heaven, for money is force and force is the essence of the universe. View quote
Arthur Desmond
The disease with which the human mind now labors is want of faith. View quote
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The poisons are our principal medicines, which kill the disease and save the life. View quote
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Poverty, Frost, Famine, Rain, Disease, are the beadles and guardsmen that hold us to Common Sense. View quote
