As an integral part of the Department of Agriculture the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service monitors our Nation's agriculture to protect against agricultural pests and diseases.

So I can't show you how exactly health care is a basic human right. But what I can argue is that no one should have to die of a disease that is treatable.

Like it or not in the end it's one's body. It's literally what carries you through life. There's a reason for the saying 'If you have your health you have everything ' and it's true. Old age disease - these are the great equalizers.

Citizens must pressure the American Hospital Association the American Public Health Association the Centers for Disease Control and other relevant governmental agencies to make greening our hospitals and medical centers a top priority so that they themselves don't create even more illness.

There's no one place a virus goes to die - but that doesn't make its demise any less a public health victory. Throughout human history viral diseases have had their way with us and for just as long we have hunted them down and done our best to wipe them out.

In today's world it is shortsighted to think that infectious diseases cannot cross borders. By allowing developing countries access to generic drugs we not only help improve health in those nations we also help ourselves control these debilitating and often deadly diseases.

Health consists of having the same diseases as one's neighbors.

The doctor has been taught to be interested not in health but in disease. What the public is taught is that health is the cure for disease.

We know a great deal more about the causes of physical disease than we do about the causes of physical health.

I think all Americans believe in human rights. And health is an often overlooked aspect of basic human rights. And it's one that's easily corrected. The reason I say that is that many of the diseases that we treat around the world I knew when I was a child. My mother was a registered nurse. And they no longer exist in our country.

No company is preferable to bad. We are more apt to catch the vices of others than virtues as disease is far more contagious than health.

Medicine to produce health must examine disease and music to create harmony must investigate discord.

Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy.

For the poison of hatred seated near the heart doubles the burden for the one who suffers the disease he is burdened with his own sorrow and groans on seeing another's happiness.

There is no austerity equal to a balanced mind and there is no happiness equal to contentment there is no disease like covetousness and no virtue like mercy.

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own... Jealousy is a disease love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other or assumes that the greater the love the greater the jealousy.

The good physician treats the disease the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.

Americans are blessed with great plenty we are a generous people and we have a moral obligation to assist those who are suffering from poverty disease war and famine.

One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.

The federal government has sponsored research that has produced a tomato that is perfect in every respect except that you can't eat it. We should make every effort to make sure this disease often referred to as 'progress' doesn't spread.

When one gets in bed with government one must expect the diseases it spreads.

Man is an exception whatever else he is. If he is not the image of God then he is a disease of the dust. If it is not true that a divine being fell then we can only say that one of the animals went entirely off its head.

Everything that used to be a sin is now a disease.

We will not be intimidated or pushed off the world stage by people who do not like what we stand for and that is freedom democracy and the fight against disease poverty and terrorism.
