More quotes by Hippocrates

Hippocrates
Just as food causes chronic disease, it can be the most powerful cure
Hippocrates

Hippocrates
The life so short, the craft so long to learn.
Hippocrates

Hippocrates
Look well to the spine for the cause of disease.
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 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

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
There are in fact two things, science and opinion. The former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance.
Hippocrates
Whenever a doctor cannot do good, he must be kept from doing harm.
Hippocrates
It is changes that are chiefly responsible for diseases, especially the greatest changes, the violent alterations both in the seasons and in other things. (:)...regimen and temperature, and one period of life to another.
Hippocrates
The function of protecting and developing health must rank even above that of restoring it when it is impaired.
Hippocrates
Wine is an appropriate article for mankind, both for the healthy body and for the ailing man.
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
Divine is the task to relieve pain
Hippocrates
The wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings. Let food be your medicine.
Hippocrates
