More quotes by 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
Cure sometimes, treat often, comfort always.
Hippocrates
Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food.
Hippocrates
What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself holding such things shameful to be spoken about.
Hippocrates
To do nothing is sometimes a good remedy.
Hippocrates
About medications that are drunk or applied to wounds it is worth learning from everyone for people do not discover these by reasoning but by chance, and experts not more than laymen.
Hippocrates
Look to the seasons when choosing your cures
Hippocrates
Male and female have the power to fuse into one solid, both because both are nourished in both and also because soul is the same thing in all living creatures, although the body of each is different.
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
Whenever a doctor cannot do good, he must be kept from doing harm.
Hippocrates
Life is short, art long, opportunity fleeting, experiment uncertain, and judgment difficult.
Hippocrates
Some patients, though conscious that their condition is perilous, recover their health simply through their contentment with the goodness of the physician.
Hippocrates
All parts of the body which have a function, if used in moderation and exercised in labors in which each is accustomed, become thereby healthy, well developed and age more slowly, but if unused they become liable to disease, defective in growth and age quickly.
Hippocrates
Extreme remedies are very appropriate for extreme diseases.
Hippocrates
Healing in a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.
Hippocrates
The way to health is to have an aromatic bath and a scented massage every day.
Hippocrates
Nature itself is the best physician.
Hippocrates
I also maintain that clear knowledge of natural science must be acquired, in the first instance, through mastery of medicine alone.
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
The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well.
