Nature abhors the old, and old age seems the only disease; all others run into this one.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
» Ralph Waldo Emerson - all quotes »
Once a disease has entered the body, all parts which are healthy must fight it: not one alone, but all. Because a disease might mean their common death. Nature knows this; and Nature attacks the disease with whatever help she can muster.
Paracelsus
Nature abhors a moron.
H. L. Mencken
Nature abhors imperfect work
And on it lays her ban;
And all creation must despise
A tailless man.David Law Proudfit
There is one [disease] which is widespread, and from which men rarely escape. This disease varies in degree in different men ... I refer to this: that every person thinks his mind ... more clever and more learned than it is ... I have found that this disease has attacked many an intelligent person ... They ... express themselves [not only] upon the science with which they are familiar, but upon other sciences about which they know nothing ... If met with applause ... so does the disease itself become aggravated.
Maimonides
We should always presume the disease to be curable, until its own nature prove it otherwise.
