...that the doctor being himself a mortal man, should be diligent and tender in relieving his suffering patients, inasmuch as he himself must one day be a like sufferer.
~ Thomas Sydenham
They love without measure those whom they will soon hate without reason.
The arrival of a good clown exercises a more beneficial influence upon the health of a town than twenty asses laden with drugs.
Of all the remedies it has pleased almighty God to give man to relieve his suffering, none is so universal and so efficacious as opium.
The art of medicine was to be properly learned only from its practice and its exercise.
