Most Things Get Better by Themselves

'The great secret of doctors, known only to their wives, but still hidden from the public, is that most things get better by themselves; most things, in fact, are better in the morning.'
--Dr. Lewis Thomas. The physician and biologist, who died in 1993, wrote a classic collection of essays, The Lives of a Cell. My friend and mentor Bill Zinsser has often referred to it as among the greatest-ever examples of clear, lovely writing about technical, scientific matters.
