The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. Therefore the physician must start from nature, with an open mind.

More quotes by Paracelsus
The dose makes the poison.
Paracelsus
The spirit is the master imagination the tool, and the body the plastic material ...The power of the imagination is a great factor in medicine. It may produce diseases in man and in animals, and it may cure them ..Ills of the body may be cured by physical remedies or by the power of the spirit acting through the soul.
Paracelsus
What sense would it make or what would it benfit a physician if he discovered the origin of the diseases but could not cure or alleviate them?
Paracelsus
Determined will is the beginning of all magical operations. It is because men do not perfectly imagine and believe the result, that the (occult) arts are so uncertain, while they might be perfectly certain.
Paracelsus
Could we but rightly comprehend the mind of man, nothing would be impossible to us upon the earth.
Paracelsus
The book of Nature is that which the physician must read and to do so he must walk over the leaves.
Paracelsus
Nothing is hidden so much that it wouldn't be revealed through its fruit.
Paracelsus
The universities do not teach all things ... so a doctor must seek out old wives, gypsies, sorcerers, wandering tribes, old robbers, and such outlaws and take lessons from them. A doctor must be a traveller . . . Knowledge is experience.
Paracelsus
Many have said of Alchemy, that it is for the making of gold and silver. For me such is not the aim, but to consider only what virtue and power may lie in medicines.
Paracelsus
Time is a brisk wind, for each hour it brings something new... but who can understand and measure its sharp breath, its mystery and its design?
Paracelsus
It should be forbidden and severely punished to remove cancer by cutting, burning, cautery, and other fiendish tortures. It is from nature that the disease comes, and from nature comes the cure, not from physicians.
Paracelsus
I am different. Let this not upset you
Paracelsus
Medicine rests upon four pillars - philosophy, astronomy, alchemy, and ethics.
Paracelsus
Let no one who can be his own belong to another.
Paracelsus
If we want to make a statement about a man's nature on the basis of his physiognomy, we must take everything into account it is in his distress that a man is tested, for then his nature is revealed.
Paracelsus
In every human being there is a special heaven, whole and unbroken.
Paracelsus
Be not another, if you can be yourself.
Paracelsus
Life is like music, it must be composed by ear, feeling and instinct, not by rule. Nevertheless one had better know the rules, for they sometimes guide in doubtful cases, though not often.
Paracelsus
As you talk, so is your heart.
Paracelsus
Poison is in everything, and no thing is without poison. The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy.
Paracelsus
