More quotes by Hippocrates
Get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases
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
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
Eunuchs do not take the gout, nor become bald.
Hippocrates
Opposites are cures for opposites.
Hippocrates
A sensible man ought to think about that well being is the best of human blessings, and find out how by his personal thought to derive profit from his sicknesses.
Hippocrates
To really know is science to merely believe you know is ignorance.
Hippocrates
...all the most acute, most powerful, and most deadly diseases, and those which are most difficult to be understood by the inexperienced, fall upon the brain.
Hippocrates
Everyone has a doctor in him or her we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food. But to eat when you are sick, is to feed your sickness.
Hippocrates
If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.
Hippocrates
What medicines do not heal, the lance will what the lance does not heal, fire will.
Hippocrates
Sometimes give your services for nothing.
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
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
What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself holding such things shameful to be spoken about.
Hippocrates
For where there is love of man, there is also love of the art.
Hippocrates
I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion.
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
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
I also maintain that clear knowledge of natural science must be acquired, in the first instance, through mastery of medicine alone.
Hippocrates
