“Man needs difficulties; they are necessary for health.”

“Nurses, as the key health professionals, are in a unique position to act as powerful advocates for a healthy planet. […] As nurses and midwives already constitute up to 80% of the qualified health workforce in most national health systems, they represent a potentially powerful force for bringing about the necessary changes to meet the needs of Health for All in the 21st century. Indeed, their contribution to health services covers the whole spectrum of health care […] It is clear that nurses are the backbone of most health care teams.”

“What is anarchism, anyway? Anarchism is the doctrine (as theoretician Benjamin R. Tucker has stated it) that the State should be abolished, and that all the affairs of men should be handled by individuals or voluntary associations. Anarchism is thus the opposition to and denial of the legitimacy of a positive belief; namely, that the State is moral and necessary. It is alleged that anarchism is a need of man only in the sense that the absence of a specific disease is a need of man, or a precondition of health.”

“Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it.”

“I am talking about the general psychological health of the species, man. He needs the existence of mysteries, not their solution.”

“Every prayer is a need or a lack of something. That's why the rich man doesn't ask for food, but for good health throughout the year.”

“Difficulty is as needful to appreciation as labour is to existence.”

“But for one's health as you say, it is very necessary to work in the garden and see the flowers growing.”

“Our troops are in pretty good health, and well furnished with provisions, and every thing necessary for carrying on the expedition.”

“No geological difficulties, real or imagined, can be allowed to take precedence over the clear statements and necessary inferences of Scripture.”
