More quotes by Hippocrates
Silence is not only never thirsty, but also never brings pain or sorrow.
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
To really know is science to merely believe you know is ignorance.
Hippocrates
Make a habit of two things: to help or at least to do no harm.
Hippocrates
The patient must combat the disease along with the physician.
Hippocrates
For where there is love of man, there is also love of the art.
Hippocrates
Sometimes give your services for nothing.
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
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
What medicines do not heal, the lance will what the lance does not heal, fire will.
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
The function of protecting and developing health must rank even above that of restoring it when it is impaired.
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
Wherever the art of Medicine is loved, there is also a love of Humanity.
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
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
Everything in excess is opposed to nature.
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
Each of the substances of a man's diet acts upon his body and changes it in some way and upon these changes his whole life depends.
Hippocrates
It is more important to know the person who has the condition than it is to know the condition the person has.
Hippocrates
