Science is the father of knowledge, but opinion breeds ignorance.

Extreme remedies are very appropriate for extreme diseases.

In acute diseases the physician must conduct his inquiries in the following way. First he must examine the face of the patient, and see whether it is like the faces of healthy people, and especially whether it is like its usual self. Such likeness will be the best sign, and the greatest unlikeness will be the most dangerous sign. The latter will be as follows. Nose sharp, eyes hollow, temples sunken, ears cold and contracted with their lobes turned outwards, the skin about the face hard and tense and parched, the colour of the face as a whole being yellow or black.

Divine is the task to relieve pain

Sport is a preserver of health.

There is one common flow, one common breathing, all things are in sympathy.

The way to health is to have an aromatic bath and a scented massage every day.
