More quotes by Paracelsus
He who knows nothing, loves nothing. He who can do nothing understands nothing. He who understands nothing is worthless.
Paracelsus
Poison is in everything, and no thing is without poison. The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy.
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
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
Know that the philosopher has power over the stars, and not the stars over him.
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
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 beginning of wisdom is the beginning of supernatural power.
Paracelsus
Determined will is the beginning of all magical operations. It is because men do not perfectly imagine and believe the result, that the (occult) arts are so uncertain, while they might be perfectly certain.
Paracelsus
Whether wine is a nourishment, medicine or poison is a matter of 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
This process is alchemy: its founder is the smith Vulcan.
Paracelsus
Nature also forges man, now a gold man, now a silver man, now a fig man, now a bean man.
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
I am different. Let this not upset you
Paracelsus
Let no one who can be his own belong to another.
Paracelsus
Nothing is hidden so much that it wouldn't be revealed through its fruit.
Paracelsus
The interpretation of dreams is a great art.
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
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
