Henry David Thoreau
Health, Sick, Healthy
Henry David Thoreau, Barry Andrews (2005). “True Harvest: Readings from Henry David Thoreau for Every Day of the Year”, p.275, Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations

Our panaceas cure but few ails, our general hospitals are private and exclusive. We must set up another Hygeia than is now worshiped. Do not the quacks even direct small doses for children, larger for adults, and larger still for oxen and horses? Let us remember that we are to prescribe for the globe itself.

Henry David Thoreau
Horse, Children, Health
Henry David Thoreau (2002). “The Essays of Henry D. Thoreau: Selected and Edited by Lewis Hyde”, p.164, Macmillan

At present the globe goes with a shattered constitution in its orbit.... No doubt the simple powers of nature, properly directed by man, would make it healthy and a paradise; as the laws of man's own constitution but wait to be obeyed, to restore him to health and happiness.

Henry David Thoreau
Health, Simple, Men
Henry David Thoreau (2013). “The Selected Essays of Henry David Thoreau”, p.28, Simon and Schuster

To the sick, indeed, nature is sick, but to the well, a fountain of health.

Henry David Thoreau
Nature, Health, Sick
Henry David Thoreau (2011). “The Natural History Essays”, p.3, Gibbs Smith

We are conscious of an animal in us, which awakens in proportion as our higher nature slumbers. It is reptile and sensual, and perhaps cannot be wholly expelled; like the worms which, even in life and health, occupy our bodies. Possibly we may withdraw from it, but never change its nature. I fear that it may enjoy a certain health of its own; that we may be well, yet not pure.

Henry David Thoreau
Health, Animal, Sensual
Henry David Thoreau (2016). “Walden”, p.157, Xist Publishing

A healthy man, indeed, is the complement of the seasons, and in winter, summer is in his heart.

Henry David Thoreau
Summer, Heart, Health
Henry David Thoreau (2012). “The Portable Thoreau”, p.47, Penguin

It would surpass the powers of a well man nowadays to take up his bed and walk, and I should certainly advise a sick one to lay down his bed and run.

Henry David Thoreau
Running, Health, Men
Henry David Thoreau (2009). “Walden”, p.43, Cosimo, Inc.

The same soil is good for men and for trees. A man's health requires as many acres of meadow to his prospect as his farm does loads of muck.

Henry David Thoreau
Truth, Health, Opposites
Henry David Thoreau (2014). “The Illustrated "A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers"”, p.256, Princeton University Press

Stuff a cold and starve a cold are but two ways. They are the two practices, both always in full blast. Yet you must take the advice of the one school as if there was no other.

Henry David Thoreau
Truth, Health, School
Henry David Thoreau (2013). “Delphi Complete Works of Henry David Thoreau (Illustrated)”, p.197, Delphi Classics

All health and success does me good, however far off and withdrawn it may appear; all disease and failure helps to make me sad anddoes me evil, however much sympathy it may have with me or I with it.

Henry David Thoreau
Success, Health, Evil
