More quotes by Hippocrates
Physicians are many in title but very few in reality.
Hippocrates
The wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings. Let food be your medicine.
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
Extreme remedies are very appropriate for extreme diseases.
Hippocrates
Cure sometimes, treat often, comfort always.
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
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
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
...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
Healing in a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.
Hippocrates
The life so short, the craft so long to learn.
Hippocrates
To really know is science to merely believe you know is ignorance.
Hippocrates
Old people have fewer diseases than the young, but their diseases never leave them.
Hippocrates
He who does not understand astrology is not a doctor but a fool.
Hippocrates
Life is short, art long, opportunity fleeting, experiment uncertain, and judgment difficult.
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
Sport is a preserver of health.
Hippocrates
Divine is the task to relieve pain
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
Eunuchs do not take the gout, nor become bald.
Hippocrates
