More quotes by Paracelsus
The beginning of wisdom is the beginning of supernatural power.
Paracelsus
But is not He who created it for the sake of the sick body more than the remedy? And is not He who cures the soul, which is more than the body, greater?
Paracelsus
The interpretation of dreams is a great art.
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
Know that the philosopher has power over the stars, and not the stars over him.
Paracelsus
Fasting is the greatest remedy-- the physician within.
Paracelsus
Time is a brisk wind, for each hour it brings something new.
Paracelsus
All drugs are poisons the benefit depends on the dosage.
Paracelsus
From time immemorial artistic insights have been revealed to artists in their sleep and in dreams, so that at all times they ardently desired them.
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
This is alchemy, and this is the office of Vulcan he is the apothecary and chemist of the medicine.
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
The physician must give heed to the region in which the patient lives, that is to say, to its type and peculiarities.
Paracelsus
Consider that we shouldn't call our brother a fool, since we don't know ourselves what we are.
Paracelsus
The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. Therefore the physician must start from nature, with an open mind.
Paracelsus
This process is alchemy: its founder is the smith Vulcan.
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
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
The human body is vapor materialized by sunshine mixed with the life of the stars.
Paracelsus
In every human being there is a special heaven, whole and unbroken.
Paracelsus
