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.

More quotes by Paracelsus
Anyone who imagines that all fruits ripen at the same time as the strawberries knows nothing about grapes.
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
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
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
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
The book of Nature is that which the physician must read and to do so he must walk over the leaves.
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
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
Consider that we shouldn't call our brother a fool, since we don't know ourselves what we are.
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 main reason for healing is love.
Paracelsus
Whether wine is a nourishment, medicine or poison is a matter of dosage
Paracelsus
Let no one who can be his own belong to another.
Paracelsus
The ultimate cause of human disease is the consequence of our transgression of the universal laws of life.
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
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
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
Medicine rests upon four pillars - philosophy, astronomy, alchemy, and ethics.
Paracelsus
The physician must give heed to the region in which the patient lives, that is to say, to its type and peculiarities.
Paracelsus
The dose makes the poison.
