More quotes by 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 human body is vapor materialized by sunshine mixed with the life of the stars.
Paracelsus
Consider that we shouldn't call our brother a fool, since we don't know ourselves what we are.
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
I am different. Let this not upset you
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
Time is a brisk wind, for each hour it brings something new.
Paracelsus
The physician must give heed to the region in which the patient lives, that is to say, to its type and peculiarities.
Paracelsus
All drugs are poisons the benefit depends on the dosage.
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
Fasting is the greatest remedy-- the physician within.
Paracelsus
In every human being there is a special heaven, whole and unbroken.
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
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
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
All that man needs for health and healing has been provided by God in nature, the Challenge of science is to find it.
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
Poison is in everything, and no thing is without poison. The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy.
Paracelsus
A little bit of beer is divine medicine.
Paracelsus
