Medicine is not only a science; it is also an art. It does not consist of compounding pills and plasters; it deals with the very processes of life, which must be understood before they may be guided.
The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. Therefore the physician must start from nature, with an open mind.
In the history of medicine, it is not always the great scientist or the learned doctor who goes forward to discover new fields, new avenues, new ideas.

To array a man's will against his sickness is the supreme art of medicine.
Wherever the art of medicine is loved, there is also a love of humanity.
The practice of medicine is a thinker's art the practice of surgery a plumber's.
The art of medicine consists in amusing the patient while nature cures the disease.
Life is the only art that we are required to practice without preparation, and without being allowed the preliminary trials, the failures and botches, that are essential for training.
