As I kept having episodes of depression, I realized that it was not a one-off: that I had, well, not a disease, really - more an illness.

People who are always taking care of their health are like misers, who are hoarding a treasure which they have never spirit enough to enjoy.

Without health life is not life; it is only a state of langour and suffering - an image of death.

To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

Attention to health is life's greatest hindrance.

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