Leadership does not depend on being right. – Ivan Illich
The medicalization of early diagnosis not only hampers and discourages preventative health-care but it also trains the patient-to-be to function in the meantime as an acolyte to his doctor. He learns to depend on the physician in sickness and in health. He turns into a life-long patient. – Ivan Illich

Modern medicine is a negation of health. It isnt organized to serve human health, but only itself, as an institution. It makes more people sick than it heals. – Ivan Illich
The more consistent a father can be or a mentor can be in the persons life and teach them principles of real solid manhood, character, integrity and leadership, the more consistent you can be in the persons life and teach them those things at a younger age, and then the better off theyll be. – Allan Houston
