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
The interpretation of dreams is a great art.
Paracelsus
The human body is vapor materialized by sunshine mixed with the life of the stars.
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
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
The main reason for healing is love.
Paracelsus
Medicine is not merely a science but an art. The character of the physician may act more powerfully upon the patient than the drugs employed.
Paracelsus
The physician must give heed to the region in which the patient lives, that is to say, to its type and peculiarities.
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
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
Fasting is the greatest remedy-- the physician within.
Paracelsus
Be not another, if you can be yourself.
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
I am different. Let this not upset you
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
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
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
Know that the philosopher has power over the stars, and not the stars over him.
Paracelsus
The ultimate cause of human disease is the consequence of our transgression of the universal laws of life.
Paracelsus
