A Quote by Augustus William Hare

We look to our last sickness for repentance, unmindful that it is during a recovery men repent, not during a sickness.

I think we have in Germany too many sickness funds. We started with more than 1,000 sickness funds. But the fewer sickness funds there are, the less bureaucracy and the easier the system is to operate. But it is important that the best sickness funds survive.

Karl Lauterbach

To realize that our knowledge is ignorance, This is a noble insight. To regard our ignorance as knowledge, This is mental sickness. Only when we are sick of the sickness Shall we cease to be sick. The Sage is not sick, being sick of sickness; This is the secret of health.

Laozi

I awoke from The Sickness at the age of forty-five, calm and sane, and in reasonably good health except for a weakened liver and the look of borrowed flesh common to all who survive The Sickness.

William S. Burroughs

...Haller's sickness of the soul, as I now know, is not the eccentricity of a single individual, but the sickness of the times themselves, the neurosis of that generation to which Haller belongs, a sickness, it seems, that by no means attacks the weak and worthless only but, rather, precisely those who are strongest in spirit and richest in gifts.

Hermann Hesse

Sickness sometimes is a great blessing. People become angels through sickness.

Spencer W. Kimball

I swear to you gentlemen, that to be overly conscious is a sickness, a real, thorough sickness.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Physical sickness we usually defy. Soul sickness we often resign ourselves to.

Mark Buchanan

The sickness of the individual is ultimately caused by and sustained by the sickness of his civilization

Herbert Marcuse

It seems to me that physical sickness softens, just as moral sickness hardens, the heart.

Lord Chesterfield

Indifference is the sign of sickness, a sickness of the soul more contagious than any other.

Elie Wiesel

Through repentance the filth of our foul actions is washed away. After this, we participate in the Holy Spirit, not automatically, but according to the faith, humility and inner disposition of the repentance in which our soul is engaged. For this reason it is good to repent each day as the act of repentance is unending.

Symeon the New Theologian

Homesickness is not always a vague, nostalgic, almost beautiful emotion, although that is somehow the way we always seem to picture it in our mind. It can be a terribly keen blade, not just a sickness in metaphor but in fact as well. It can change the way one looks at the world; the faces one sees in the street look not just indifferent but ugly... perhaps even malignant. Homesickness is a real sickness--the ache of the uprooted plant.

Stephen King

There will be no sickness for the saint of God. ... If your body belongs to God, it does not and cannot belong to sickness.

Benny Hinn

A true Lover is proved such by his pain of Heart! No sickness is there like sickness of Heart!!!

Rumi

Repentance grows as faith grows. Do not make any mistake about it; repentance is not a thing of days and weeks, a temporary penance to be got over as fast as possible! No; it is the grace of a lifetime, like faith itself. God's little children repent, and so do the young men and the fathers. Repentance is the inseparable companion of faith.
