More quotes by Hippocrates
The natural force within each of us is that greatest healer of all.
Hippocrates
Things that are holy are revealed only to men who are holy.

Hippocrates
If you are not your own doctor, you are a fool.
Hippocrates
Extreme remedies are very appropriate for extreme diseases.
Hippocrates
I am about to discuss the disease called 'sacred'. It is not, in my opinion, any more divine or more sacred that other diseases, but has a natural cause, and its supposed divine origin is due to men's inexperience, and to their wonder at its peculiar character.
Hippocrates
To really know is science to merely believe you know is ignorance.
Hippocrates
The patient must combat the disease along with the physician.
Hippocrates
Where prayer, amulets and incantations work it is only a manifestation of the patient's belief.
Hippocrates
That which is used - develops. That which is not used wastes away.
Hippocrates
I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel and in like manner I will not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion.
Hippocrates
Everything in excess is opposed to nature.
Hippocrates
Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.
Hippocrates
Just as food causes chronic disease, it can be the most powerful cure

Hippocrates
Your foods shall be your 'remedies,' and your 'remedies' shall be your foods.
Hippocrates
Opposites are cures for opposites.
Hippocrates
I will use treatment to help the sick according to my ability and judgment, but never with a view to injury and wrongdoing. Neither will I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course. Similarly, I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion. I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art.
Hippocrates
Everyone has a doctor in him or her we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food. But to eat when you are sick, is to feed your sickness.
Hippocrates
Look well to the spine for the cause of disease.
Hippocrates
