To array a man's will against his sickness is the supreme art of medicine.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Therefore in medicine we ought to know the causes of sickness and health.
A wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings, and learn how by his own thought to derive benefit from his illnesses.
Medicine is the restoration of discordant elements; sickness is the discord of the elements infused into the living body.
A physician is not angry at the intemperance of a mad patient, nor does he take it ill to be railed at by a man in fever. Just so should a wise man treat all mankind, as a physician does his patient, and look upon them only as sick and extravagant.
Sickness is mankind's greatest defect.
The physician's highest calling, his only calling, is to make sick people healthy - to heal, as it is termed.
All a man's affairs become diseased when he wishes to cure evils by evils.
Wherever the art of medicine is loved, there is also a love of humanity.
Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey.
The art of medicine consists in amusing the patient while nature cures the disease.
