More quotes by 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
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
Be not another, if you can be yourself.
Paracelsus
As you talk, so is your heart.
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 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
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
He who knows nothing, loves nothing. He who can do nothing understands nothing. He who understands nothing is worthless.
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
Poison is in everything, and no thing is without poison. The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy.
Paracelsus
This process is alchemy: its founder is the smith Vulcan.
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
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
The dose makes the poison.
Paracelsus
The beginning of wisdom is the beginning of supernatural power.
Paracelsus
Nature also forges man, now a gold man, now a silver man, now a fig man, now a bean man.
Paracelsus
The human body is vapor materialized by sunshine mixed with the life of the stars.
Paracelsus
The ultimate cause of human disease is the consequence of our transgression of the universal laws of life.
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
