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.

More quotes by Hippocrates
Make a habit of two things: to help or at least to do no harm.
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
There are in fact two things, science and opinion. The former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance.
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
The natural force within each of us is that greatest healer of all.
Hippocrates
I will use treatment to help the sick according to my ability and judgment, but never with a view to injury and wrongdoing. Neither will I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course. Similarly, I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion. I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art.
Hippocrates
Things that are holy are revealed only to men who are holy.
Hippocrates
Eunuchs do not take the gout, nor become bald.
Hippocrates
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
Anyone wishing to study medicine must master the art of massage.
Hippocrates
Male and female have the power to fuse into one solid, both because both are nourished in both and also because soul is the same thing in all living creatures, although the body of each is different.
Hippocrates
Medicine is of all the Arts the most noble but, owing to the ignorance of those who practice it, and of those who, inconsiderately, form a judgment of them, it is at present behind all the arts.
Hippocrates
Idleness and lack of occupation tend - nay are dragged - towards evil.
Hippocrates
The patient must combat the disease along with the physician.
Hippocrates
Primum non nocerum. (First do no harm)
Hippocrates
The function of protecting and developing health must rank even above that of restoring it when it is impaired.
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
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
Physicians are many in title but very few in reality.
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
