More quotes by Hippocrates
Sometimes give your services for nothing.
Hippocrates
All disease begins in the gut.
Hippocrates
Primum non nocerum. (First do no harm)
Hippocrates
Old people have fewer diseases than the young, but their diseases never leave them.
Hippocrates
The function of protecting and developing health must rank even above that of restoring it when it is impaired.
Hippocrates
Those things which are sacred, are to be imparted only to sacred persons and it is not lawful to import them to the profane until they have been initiated in the mysteries of the science.
Hippocrates
And if incision of the temple is made on the left, spasm seizes the parts on the right, while if the incision is on the right, spasm seizes the parts on the left.
Hippocrates
There are in fact two things, science and opinion. The former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance.
Hippocrates
I also maintain that clear knowledge of natural science must be acquired, in the first instance, through mastery of medicine alone.
Hippocrates
Wine is an appropriate article for mankind, both for the healthy body and for the ailing man.
Hippocrates
What medicines do not heal, the lance will what the lance does not heal, fire will.
Hippocrates
If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.
Hippocrates
Physicians are many in title but very few in reality.
Hippocrates
The patient must combat the disease along with the physician.
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
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
Any man who is intelligent must, on considering that health is of the utmost value to human beings, have the personal understanding necessary to help himself in diseases, and be able to understand and to judge what physicians say and what they administer to his body, being versed in each of these matters to a degree reasonable for a layman.
Hippocrates
Look well to the spine for the cause of disease.
Hippocrates
Life is short and the art long.
Hippocrates
When in sickness, look to the spine first.
Hippocrates
