Hippocrates
Physicians are many in title but very few in reality.
Hippocrates
Look well to the spine for the cause of disease.
Hippocrates
A wise man ought to realize that health is his most valuable possession.
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
The function of protecting and developing health must rank even above that of restoring it when it is impaired.
Hippocrates
Each of the substances of a man's diet acts upon his body and changes it in some way and upon these changes his whole life depends.
Hippocrates

Hippocrates
Nature itself is the best physician.
Hippocrates

Hippocrates
He who wishes to be a surgeon should go to war.
Hippocrates
It is most necessary to know the nature of the spine. One or more vertebrae may or may not go out of place very much and if they do, they are likely to produce serious complications and even death, if not properly adjusted. Many diseases are related to the spine.
Hippocrates
The human soul develops up to the time of death.
Hippocrates
Life is short and the art long.
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
