Body and soul cannot be separated for purposes of treatment, for they are one and indivisible. Sick minds must be healed as well as sick bodies. - C. Jeff Miller
Doctors are men who prescribe medicines of which they know little, to cure diseases of which they know less, in human beings of whom they know nothing. - Voltaire
In the sick room, ten cents’ worth of human understanding equals ten dollars’ worth of medical science. - Martin H. Fischer
Is it not also true that no physician, in so far as he is a physician, considers or enjoins what is for the physician’s interest, but that all seek the good of their patients? For we have agreed that a physician strictly so called, is a ruler of bodies, and not a maker of money, have we not? - Plato
It is much more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease than what sort of a disease a patient has. - William Osler
Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. - Hippocrates
Mediocre medicine cures diseases; superior medicine prevents them. - Nei Jing
Men who are occupied in the restoration of health to other men, by the joint exertion of skill and humanity, are above all the great of the earth. They even partake of divinity, since to preserve and renew is almost as noble as to create. - Voltaire
One of the first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take medicine…. Soap and water and common sense are the best disinfectants. - William Osler
People pay the doctor for his trouble; for his kindness they still remain in his debt. - Seneca
The art of medicine consists in amusing the patient while nature cures the disease. - Voltaire
The best cure for the body is a quiet mind. - Napoleon
The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will educate his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease. - Thomas Edison
The FDA protects the big drug companies, and is subsequently rewarded, and using the government’s police powers, they attack those who threaten the big drug companies. People think that the FDA is protecting them. It isn’t. What the FDA is doing, and what the public thinks it is doing are as different as night and day. - Dr. Herbert Ley
The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease. - William Osler
The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty – it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. - Mother Teresa
The greatest mistake in the treatment of diseases is that there are physicians for the body and physicians for the soul, although the two cannot be separated. - Plato
The human body experiences a powerful gravitational pull in the direction of hope. That is why the patient’s hopes are the physician’s secret weapon. They are the hidden ingredients in any prescription. - Norman Cousins
The superior doctor prevents sickness; The mediocre doctor attends to impending sickness; The inferior doctor treats actual sickness. - Chinese proverb
Time is generally the best doctor. - Ovid
We look for medicine to be an orderly field of knowledge and procedure. But it is not. It is an imperfect science, an enterprise of constantly changing knowledge, uncertain information, fallible individuals, and at the same time lives on the line. There is science in what we do, yes, but also habit, intuition, and sometimes plain old guessing. The gap between what we know and what we aim for persists. And this gap complicates everything we do. - Atul Gawande
