Quotations regarding 'Disease'

Choose a letter: 
Whoever grows angry amid troubles applies a drug worse than the disease and is a physician unskilled about misfortunes.
Sophocles, Greek Poet
Heart disease continues to be the number one killer; cancer, the number 2 killer, not far behind. The tragic aspect of these deadly diseases is that they could all be cured, I do believe, if we had sufficient funding.
Arlen Specter, American Politician (1930-  )
Discrimination is a disease.
Roger Staubach, American Athlete (1942-  )
Saving Milly was a break from this effort because I felt that it was time to be part of something that could shed light on a disease everyone feels they know, when most know so little.

Gout produces calculus in the kidney... the patient has frequently to entertain the painful speculation as to whether gout or stone be the worst disease. Sometimes the stone, on passing, kills the patient, without waiting for the gout.

For humble individuals like myself, there is one poor comfort, which is this, viz. that gout, unlike any other disease, kills more rich men than poor, more wise men than simple.
Thomas Sydenham, English Scientist (1624-1689)
There are some remedies worse than the disease.

Some remedies are worse than the disease.

It is difficult to write about any form of mental disease, especially your own, without sounding as if you were examining a bug under glass.
Gene Tierney, American Actress (1920-1991)
I have read many studies out of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and they demonstrated that Vitamin E, Co-Q-10, and Fish Oil could protect the immune system of athletes and prevent disease.
Bill Toomey, American Athlete (1939-  )
Pearl is a disease of oysters. Levant is a disease of Hollywood.
Kenneth Tynan, English Critic (1927-1980)
