More quotes by 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
A sensible man ought to think about that well being is the best of human blessings, and find out how by his personal thought to derive profit from his sicknesses.
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
The function of protecting and developing health must rank even above that of restoring it when it is impaired.
Hippocrates
Look to the seasons when choosing your cures
Hippocrates
Physicians are many in title but very few in reality.
Hippocrates
Make a habit of two things: to help or at least to do no harm.
Hippocrates
It is more important to know the person who has the condition than it is to know the condition the person has.
Hippocrates
Old people have fewer diseases than the young, but their diseases never leave them.
Hippocrates
What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself holding such things shameful to be spoken about.
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
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
Sport is a preserver of health.
Hippocrates
I also maintain that clear knowledge of natural science must be acquired, in the first instance, through mastery of medicine alone.
Hippocrates
Get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases
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
He who wishes to be a surgeon should go to war.
Hippocrates
Healing in a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.
Hippocrates
To do nothing is sometimes a good remedy.
Hippocrates
