“The wounded surgeon plies the steel / That questions the distempered part.”
T.S. Eliot
“Don't go to the doctor with every distemper, nor to the lawyer with every quarrel, nor to the pot for every thirst”
Benjamin Franklin
“There is one topic peremptorily forbidden to all well-bred, to all rational mortals, namely, their distempers. If you have not slept, or if you have slept, or if you have headache, or sciatica, or leprosy, or thunder-stroke, I beseech you, by all angels, to hold your peace, and not pollute the morning.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
