More quotes by Hippocrates
The life so short, the craft so long to learn.
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
What medicines do not heal, the lance will what the lance does not heal, fire will.
Hippocrates
Everything in excess is opposed to nature.
Hippocrates
All disease starts in the gut.
Hippocrates
Old people have fewer diseases than the young, but their diseases never leave them.
Hippocrates
He who wishes to be a surgeon should go to war.

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
Make a habit of two things: to help or at least to do no harm.
Hippocrates
Opposites are cures for opposites.
Hippocrates
It is more important to know the person who has the condition than it is to know the condition the person has.
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
A wise man ought to realize that health is his most valuable possession.
Hippocrates
To really know is science to merely believe you know is ignorance.
Hippocrates
He who does not understand astrology is not a doctor but a fool.
Hippocrates
It is better not to apply any treatment in cases of occult cancer for if treated (by surgery), the patients die quickly but if not treated, they hold out for a long time.
Hippocrates
