More quotes by Hippocrates
Science is the father of knowledge, but opinion breeds ignorance.
Hippocrates
Old people have fewer diseases than the young, but their diseases never leave them.
Hippocrates
I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion.
Hippocrates
Whenever a doctor cannot do good, he must be kept from doing harm.
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
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
Life is short, art long, opportunity fleeting, experiment uncertain, and judgment difficult.
Hippocrates
Medicine is of all the Arts the most noble but, owing to the ignorance of those who practice it, and of those who, inconsiderately, form a judgment of them, it is at present behind all the arts.
Hippocrates
The patient must combat the disease along with the physician.
Hippocrates
Extreme remedies are very appropriate for extreme diseases.
Hippocrates
There are in fact two things, science and opinion. The former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance.
Hippocrates
Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food.
Hippocrates
It is changes that are chiefly responsible for diseases, especially the greatest changes, the violent alterations both in the seasons and in other things. (:)...regimen and temperature, and one period of life to another.
Hippocrates
Wherever the art of Medicine is loved, there is also a love of Humanity.
Hippocrates
Idleness and lack of occupation tend - nay are dragged - towards evil.
Hippocrates
Time is that wherein there is opportunity, and opportunity is that wherein there is no great time.
Hippocrates
...all the most acute, most powerful, and most deadly diseases, and those which are most difficult to be understood by the inexperienced, fall upon the brain.
Hippocrates
For extreme diseases, extreme methods of cure, as to restriction, are most suitable.
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
The body of man has in itself blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile these make up the nature of this body, and through these he feels pain or enjoys health. Now he enjoys the most perfect health when these elements are duly proportioned to one another in respect of compounding, power and bulk, and when they are perfectly mingled.
Hippocrates
