More quotes by Hippocrates
Things that are holy are revealed only to men who are holy.
Hippocrates
The function of protecting and developing health must rank even above that of restoring it when it is impaired.
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
When in sickness, look to the spine first.
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
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
Life is short and the art long.
Hippocrates
The patient must combat the disease along with the physician.
Hippocrates
It is more important to know the person who has the condition than it is to know the condition the person has.
Hippocrates
I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion.
Hippocrates
It is better to be full of drink than full of food.
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
I also maintain that clear knowledge of natural science must be acquired, in the first instance, through mastery of medicine alone.
Hippocrates
It is better not to apply any treatment in cases of occult cancer for if treated (by surgery), the patients die quickly but if not treated, they hold out for a long time.
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
Opposites are cures for opposites.
Hippocrates
Sport is a preserver of health.
Hippocrates
Declare the past, diagnose the present, foretell the future.
Hippocrates
He who does not understand astrology is not a doctor but a fool.
Hippocrates
Eunuchs do not take the gout, nor become bald.
Hippocrates
