Hygiene Quotes

Hygiene is the corruption of medicine by morality. It is impossible to find a hygienist who does not debase his theory of the healthful with a theory of the virtuous. The true aim of medicine is not to make men virtuous; it is to safeguard and rescue them from the consequences of their vices.

H. L. Mencken

Hygiene is two thirds of health.

Proverb

If we eat any food, or drink any beverage, we must recite a blessing over them before and after.

Shmuel Y. Agnon

Bath twice a day to be really clean, once a day to be passably clean, once a week to avoid being a public menace.

Anthony Burgess
