Famous quotes containing the words health and/or care:
“Nothing in Nature’s sober found,
But an eternal health goes round.
Fill up the bowl, then, fill it high,
Fill all the glasses there—for why
Should every creature drink but I?
Why, man of morals, tell me why?”
—Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
“Separate from the pleasure of your company, I don’t much care if I never see another mountain in my life.”
—Charles Lamb (1775–1834)
