Famous Quotes & Sayings

Richard G. Scott

If one of you has seriously sinned, repent-now. It is not good to violate the commandments of the Lord. It is worse to do nothing about it. Sin is like cancer in the body. It will never heal itself. It will become progressively worse unless cured through the medicine of repentance.

Robert Atkins

There is no better example of the weakness of our dominant medicine than its clearly ineffective War On Cancer. By the same token, there is no better example of the superiority of complementary, alternative medicine than its management of this dread disease. We are equally concerned about whether mainstream medicine's demand for proof works to maintain it at its current level of ineptitude.

Todd Akin

America has got the equivalent of stage three cancer of socialism because the federal government is tampering in all kinds of stuff it has no business tampering in.

Tim Berners-Lee

I want to know if I look up a whole lot of books about some form of cancer that that's not going to get to my insurance company and I'm going to find my insurance premium is going to go up by 5% because they've figured I'm looking at those books.

Victoria Gotti

The day I found out, the day I got my mammogram and the doctor told me I had breast cancer, it was mid-November.

Stephen Covey

Be a light, not a judge, be a model not a critic. Little by little, your circle of influence will explode and you will avoid the emotional metastasizing cancers of complaining, criticizing, competing, comparing and cynicism, all which reflect victimization, all of which are the opposite of being proactive.

Stephanie Beacham

We all live in fear of cancer, but to be told you have skin cancer was terrifying.

Viktor E. Frankl

We must never forget that we may also find meaning in life even when confronted with a hopeless situation, when facing a fate that cannot be changed. For what then matters is to bear witness to the uniquely human potential at its best, which is to transform a personal tragedy into a triumph, to turn one's predicament into a human achievement. When we are no longer able to change a situation-just think of an incurable disease such as inoperable cancer-we are challenged to change ourselves.

Stephen King

There's two kinds of evil that horror fiction always deals with. One kind is the sort of evil that comes from inside people, like in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The other kind of evil is predestined evil. It falls on you like a stroke of lightning. That's the scary stuff, but, in a way, it's the stuff you don't have to worry about. I gotta worry whether or not I'm getting cavities. I gotta worry about whether cigarettes are giving me cancer. Those are things I can change. Don't give me lightning out of a clear sky. If that hits me I just say, "That's probably the way God meant it to be."

Brad Paisley

Anytime you do something from the heart, people just know it.

Jane Hirshfield

A tree lives on its roots. If you change the root, you change the tree. Culture lives in human beings. If you change the human heart the culture will follow.

Jane Hirshfield

How silently the heart pivots on its hinge.

Jane Goodall

Without the heart to ground it and open it to who we really can be as human beings, the brain is a very dangerous machine. A machine that is saying: we've got to have economic growth; we've got to have unending economic growth, otherwise societies will collapse. And yet there should be something saying: wait a minute, this isn't going to work.

Carroll O'Connor

Nothing but the heart can change the heart.

Bella Thorne

You always just have to be the best that you can be. And if you know that in your heart, then that's all that matters.

Diana Wynne Jones

A fickle heart is the only constant in this world

Diane Ackerman

We think of it as a sort of traffic accident of the heart. It is an emotion that scares us more than cruelty, more than violence, more than hatred. We allow ourselves to be foiled by the vagueness of the word. After all, love requires the utmost vulnerability. We equip someone with freshly sharpened knives; strip naked; then invite him to stand close. What could be scarier?

Daniel Goleman

Gifted leadership occurs when heart and head--feeling and thought--meet. These are the two winds that allow a leader to soar.

Julie Gerberding

As an infectious disease expert, I've never seen a pathogen emerge and go away on its own, ... We have to expect that sometime, somewhere, this virus is going to rear its ugly head again.

Susan Sontag

Aaron Harris

He's like a disease. He's like an infection. He just spreads.

Thomas Mettenleiter

It has nothing to do with the spread of the disease or the threat of an epidemic.

Freddie Mercury

Excess is part of my nature. Dullness is a disease. I really need danger and excitement. I'm never scared of putting myself out on a limb.

Germaine Greer

Despite a lifetime of service to the cause of sexual liberation, I have never caught venereal disease, which makes me feel rather like an Arctic explorer who has never had frostbite.

Gro Harlem Brundtland

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in women
