More quotes by Paracelsus
The book of Nature is that which the physician must read and to do so he must walk over the leaves.
Paracelsus
Be not another, if you can be yourself.
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
This is alchemy, and this is the office of Vulcan he is the apothecary and chemist of the medicine.
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.
Paracelsus
A little bit of beer is divine medicine.
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
Could we but rightly comprehend the mind of man, nothing would be impossible to us upon the earth.
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
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
Nature also forges man, now a gold man, now a silver man, now a fig man, now a bean man.
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
Consider that we shouldn't call our brother a fool, since we don't know ourselves what we are.
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
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
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
Everything is a drug it depends on the dose.
Paracelsus
As you talk, so is your heart.
Paracelsus
