More quotes by Hippocrates

Hippocrates
Your foods shall be your 'remedies,' and your 'remedies' shall be your foods.
Hippocrates

Hippocrates
Everything in excess is opposed to nature.
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

Science is the father of knowledge, but opinion breeds ignorance.
Hippocrates
When in sickness, look to the spine first.

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
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
Make a habit of two things: to help or at least to do no harm.
Hippocrates
It is better to be full of drink than full of food.
Hippocrates
