More quotes by Hippocrates
The dignity of a physician requires that he should look healthy, and as plump as nature intended him to be for the common crowd consider those who are not of this excellent bodily condition to be unable to take care of themselves.
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
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
The natural force within each of us is that greatest healer of all.
Hippocrates
Life is short, art long, opportunity fleeting, experiment uncertain, and judgment difficult.
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
There are in fact two things, science and opinion. The former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance.
Hippocrates
A wise man ought to realize that health is his most valuable possession.
Hippocrates
To do nothing is sometimes a good remedy.
Hippocrates
All disease starts in the gut.
Hippocrates
Anyone wishing to study medicine must master the art of massage.
Hippocrates
Healing in a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.
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
I also maintain that clear knowledge of natural science must be acquired, in the first instance, through mastery of medicine alone.
Hippocrates
Opposites are cures for opposites.
Hippocrates
Timidity betrays want of powers, and audacity a want of skill. There are, indeed, two things, knowledge and opinion, of which the one makes its possessor really to know, the other to be ignorant.
Hippocrates
Men ought to know that from the brain, and from the brain only, arise our pleasures, joy, laughter and jests, as well as our sorrows, pains, griefs, and tears.
Hippocrates
For where there is love of man, there is also love of the art.
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
...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
