of narrow souls; they feed it with all their
littlenesses, and make it the pretext of base tyrannies.--BALZAC.
It is the nature of the human disposition to hate him whom you have
injured.--TACITUS.
Life is too short to spare an hour of it in the indulgence of this
evil passion.--LAMARTINE.
The hatred we bear our enemies injures their happiness less than our
own.--J. PETIT-SENN.
The hatred of persons related to each other is the most violent.
--TACITUS.

--LA ROCHEFOUCAULD.
HEALTH.--The only way for a rich man to be healthy is, by exercise and
abstinence, to live as if he was poor.--SIR W. TEMPLE.
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.--COLTON.
Refuse to be ill. Never tell people you are ill; never own it to
yourself. Illness is one of those things which a man should resist on
principle at the onset.--LYTTON.
Reason's whole pleasure, all the joys of sense,
Lie in three words, health, peace and competence:
But health consists with temperance alone;
And peace, O Virtue! peace is all thy own.
--POPE.
O blessed Health! thou art above all gold and treasure; 'tis thou who
enlargest the soul, and openest all its powers to receive instruction,
and to relish virtue. He that has thee has little more to wish for,
and he that is so wretched as to want thee, wants everything with
thee.--STERNE.
People who are always taking care of their health are like misers, who
are hoarding up a treasure which they have never spirit enough to
enjoy.--STERNE.
Health and good humor are to the human body like sunshine to
vegetation.--MASSILLON.
One means very effectual for the preservation of health is a quiet and
cheerful mind, not afflicted with violent passions or distracted with
immoderate cares.--JOHN RAY.
The requirements of health, and the style of female attire which
custom enjoins, are in direct antagonism to each other.--ABBA GOOLD
WOOLSON.
For life is not to live, but to be well.--MARTIAL.
From labor health, from health contentment springs.--BEATTIE.
