The morbid states of health, the irritableness of disposition arising from unstrung nerves; the impatience, the crossness, the faultfinding of men, who, full of morbid influences, are unhappy themselves, and throw the cloud of their troubles like a dark shadow upon others, teach us what eminent duty there is in health.

Fasting is, at times, the best medicine; the means of removing incipient disease, and restoring to the body its usual healthful sensations. Howard and Franklin often fasted one day in the week; and Bonaparte, when his system was unstrung, omitted his wonted meal, and took exercise on horseback, as his only remedies.

There is this difference between those two temporal blessings—health and money: Money is the most envied, but the least enjoyed; health is the most enjoyed, but the least envied: and this superiority of the latter is still more obvious when we reflect that the poorest man would not part with health for money, but that the richest would gladly part with all their money for health.

Health is the greatest of all possessions, and it is a maxim with me, that a hale cobbler is a better man than a sick king.
