Primum non nocerum. (First do no harm)
Hippocrates
Image
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
Image
There is one common flow, one common breathing, all things are in sympathy.
Hippocrates
Image
Wherever the art of Medicine is loved, there is also a love of Humanity.
Hippocrates
Image
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
Image
The natural force within each of us is that greatest healer of all.
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
Image
The way to health is to have an aromatic bath and a scented massage every day.
Hippocrates
Image
He who wishes to be a surgeon should go to war.
Hippocrates

What medicines do not heal, the lance will what the lance does not heal, fire will.
Hippocrates

Time is that wherein there is opportunity, and opportunity is that wherein there is no great time.
Hippocrates
Image
Extreme remedies are very appropriate for extreme diseases.
Hippocrates
Image
He who does not understand astrology is not a doctor but a fool.
Hippocrates
Image
To really know is science to merely believe you know is ignorance.
Hippocrates
Image
The life so short, the craft so long to learn.
Hippocrates
Image
Declare the past, diagnose the present, foretell the future.
Hippocrates
Image
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
Image
The human soul develops up to the time of death.
Hippocrates
Image
If you are not your own doctor, you are a fool.
Hippocrates
Image
And he will manage the cure best who has foreseen what is to happen from the present state of matters.
Hippocrates
