Image
Primum non nocerum. (First do no harm)
Hippocrates
Image
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
Image
The patient must combat the disease along with the physician.
Hippocrates
Image
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
Image
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.
Hippocrates
Image
Eunuchs do not take the gout, nor become bald.
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

Sport is a preserver of health.
Hippocrates
Image
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
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
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
Those diseases which medicines do not cure, iron cures those which iron cannot cure, fire cures and those which fire cannot cure, are to be reckoned wholly incurable.
Hippocrates
Image
For where there is love of man, there is also love of the art.
Hippocrates
Image
Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.
Hippocrates
Image
To really know is science to merely believe you know is ignorance.
Hippocrates
Image
Anyone wishing to study medicine must master the art of massage.
Hippocrates
Image
There is one common flow, one common breathing, all things are in sympathy.
Hippocrates
Image
I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion.
Hippocrates
Image
Get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases
Hippocrates
Image
If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.
Hippocrates
