More quotes by Paracelsus
I am different. Let this not upset you
Paracelsus
He who knows nothing, loves nothing. He who can do nothing understands nothing. He who understands nothing is worthless.
Paracelsus
The dreams which reveal the supernatural are promises and messages that God sends us directly: they are nothing but His angels, His ministering spirits , who usually appear to us when we are in a great predicament.
Paracelsus
Nature also forges man, now a gold man, now a silver man, now a fig man, now a bean man.
Paracelsus
When a man undertakes to create something, he establishes a new heaven, as it were, and from it the work that he desires to create flows into him... For such is the immensity of man that he is greater than heaven and earth.
Paracelsus
All that man needs for health and healing has been provided by God in nature, the Challenge of science is to find it.
Paracelsus
Be not another, if you can be yourself.
Paracelsus
The dose makes the poison.
Paracelsus
The book of Nature is that which the physician must read and to do so he must walk over the leaves.
Paracelsus
The ultimate cause of human disease is the consequence of our transgression of the universal laws of life.
Paracelsus
Thoughts give birth to a creative force that is neither elemental nor sidereal. Thoughts create a new heaven, a new firmament, a new source of energy, from which new arts flow. When a man undertakes to create something, he establishes a new heaven.
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
Man is ill because he is never still.
Paracelsus
For one country is different from another its earth is different, as are its stones, wines, bread, meat, and everything that grows and thrives in a specific region.
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
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
Man is a microcosm, or a little world, because he is an extract from all the stars and planets of the whole firmament, from the earth and the elements and so he is their quintessence.
Paracelsus
It would be an error to try to build the Kingdom of Heaven upon envy. For nothing that is founded on envy can thrive it must have another root.
Paracelsus
Medicine rests upon four pillars - philosophy, astronomy, alchemy, and ethics.
Paracelsus
Anyone who imagines that all fruits ripen at the same time as the strawberries knows nothing about grapes.
Paracelsus
