More quotes by Hippocrates
Science is the father of knowledge, but opinion breeds ignorance.
Hippocrates
Things that are holy are revealed only to men who are holy.
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 function of protecting and developing health must rank even above that of restoring it when it is impaired.
Hippocrates
Get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases
Hippocrates
Illnesses do not come upon us out of the blue. They are developed from small daily sins against Nature. When enough sins have accumulated, illnesses will suddenly appear.
Hippocrates
Your foods shall be your 'remedies,' and your 'remedies' shall be your foods.
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
Look to the seasons when choosing your cures
Hippocrates
Time is that wherein there is opportunity, and opportunity is that wherein there is no great time.
Hippocrates
Life is short and the art long.
Hippocrates
When in sickness, look to the spine first.
Hippocrates
The patient must combat the disease along with the physician.
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
Make a habit of two things: to help or at least to do no harm.
Hippocrates
For where there is love of man, there is also love of the art.
Hippocrates
And he will manage the cure best who has foreseen what is to happen from the present state of matters.
Hippocrates
Walking is a man's best medicine.
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
