More quotes by Hippocrates
Physicians are many in title but very few in reality.
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
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
Anyone wishing to study medicine must master the art of massage.
Hippocrates
Some patients, though conscious that their condition is perilous, recover their health simply through their contentment with the goodness of the physician.
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 patient must combat the disease along with the physician.
Hippocrates
Cure sometimes, treat often, comfort always.
Hippocrates
It is more important to know the person who has the condition than it is to know the condition the person has.
Hippocrates
The human soul develops up to the time of death.
Hippocrates
What medicines do not heal, the lance will what the lance does not heal, fire will.
Hippocrates
To really know is science to merely believe you know is ignorance.
Hippocrates
Where prayer, amulets and incantations work it is only a manifestation of the patient's belief.
Hippocrates
It is better not to apply any treatment in cases of occult cancer for if treated (by surgery), the patients die quickly but if not treated, they hold out for a long time.
Hippocrates
Life is short, art long, opportunity fleeting, experiment uncertain, and judgment difficult.
Hippocrates
Wine is an appropriate article for mankind, both for the healthy body and for the ailing man.
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
He who does not understand astrology is not a doctor but a fool.
Hippocrates
All disease begins in the gut.
Hippocrates
Those things which are sacred, are to be imparted only to sacred persons and it is not lawful to import them to the profane until they have been initiated in the mysteries of the science.
Hippocrates
