More quotes by Hippocrates

Hippocrates

Hippocrates
I will use treatment to help the sick according to my ability and judgment, but never with a view to injury and wrongdoing.

I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art.

And if incision of the temple is made on the left, spasm seizes the parts on the right, while if the incision is on the right, spasm seizes the parts on the left.
Hippocrates
Things that are holy are revealed only to men who are holy.
Hippocrates
I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion.
Hippocrates
I have clearly recorded this: for one can learn good lessons also from what has been tried but clearly has not succeeded, when it is clear why it has not succeeded.
Hippocrates
Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.
Hippocrates
He who does not understand astrology is not a doctor but a fool.
Hippocrates
Idleness and lack of occupation tend - nay are dragged - towards evil.
Hippocrates
