More quotes by Paracelsus
Medicine rests upon four pillars - philosophy, astronomy, alchemy, and ethics.
Paracelsus
Consider that we shouldn't call our brother a fool, since we don't know ourselves what we are.
Paracelsus
Anyone who imagines that all fruits ripen at the same time as the strawberries knows nothing about grapes.
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
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
This is alchemy, and this is the office of Vulcan he is the apothecary and chemist of the medicine.
Paracelsus
Nothing is hidden so much that it wouldn't be revealed through its fruit.
Paracelsus
Man is ill because he is never still.
Paracelsus
Know that the philosopher has power over the stars, and not the stars over him.
Paracelsus
The art of medicine has its roots in the heart.
Paracelsus
We do not know it because we are fooling away our time with outward and perishing things, and are asleep in regard to that which is real within ourself.
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
Let no one who can be his own belong to another.
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
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
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
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
Everything is a drug it depends on the dose.
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
As you talk, so is your heart.
Paracelsus
