More quotes by Hippocrates
A wise man ought to realize that health is his most valuable possession.
Hippocrates
For where there is love of man, there is also love of the art.
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

Hippocrates
Everything in excess is opposed to nature.
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

Your foods shall be your 'remedies,' and your 'remedies' shall be your foods.
Hippocrates
Make a habit of two things: to help or at least to do no harm.
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
Some patients, though conscious that their condition is perilous, recover their health simply through their contentment with the goodness of the physician.
Hippocrates
Divine is the task to relieve pain
Hippocrates
Time is that wherein there is opportunity, and opportunity is that wherein there is no great time.

Those diseases which medicines do not cure, iron cures those which iron cannot cure, fire cures and those which fire cannot cure, are to be reckoned wholly incurable.
Hippocrates
