More quotes by Hippocrates
And he will manage the cure best who has foreseen what is to happen from the present state of matters.
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
Declare the past, diagnose the present, foretell the future.
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
I am about to discuss the disease called 'sacred'. It is not, in my opinion, any more divine or more sacred that other diseases, but has a natural cause, and its supposed divine origin is due to men's inexperience, and to their wonder at its peculiar character.
Hippocrates
Life is short, art long, opportunity fleeting, experiment uncertain, and judgment difficult.
Hippocrates
I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel and in like manner I will not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion.
Hippocrates
What medicines do not heal, the lance will what the lance does not heal, fire will.
Hippocrates
I also maintain that clear knowledge of natural science must be acquired, in the first instance, through mastery of medicine alone.
Hippocrates
The human soul develops up to the time of death.
Hippocrates
Eunuchs do not take the gout, nor become bald.
Hippocrates
Look to the seasons when choosing your cures
Hippocrates
Opposites are cures for opposites.
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
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
It is more important to know the person who has the condition than it is to know the condition the person has.
Hippocrates
When in sickness, look to the spine first.
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
Wine is an appropriate article for mankind, both for the healthy body and for the ailing man.
Hippocrates
For extreme diseases, extreme methods of cure, as to restriction, are most suitable.
Hippocrates
