"Health is so necessary to all the duties, as well as to all the pleasures of life, that the crime of squandering it is greater than the folly; and he that for a short gratification brings weakness and disease upon himself, and for the pleasure of a few years, condemns the maturer and more experienced part of his life to the chamber and the couch, may be justly reproached, not only as a spendthrift of his own happiness, but as the robber of the public, - as a wretch that has voluntarily disqualified himself for the business of his station, and refused that part which Providence assigns him in the general task of human nature" -- Dr. Samuel Johnson
