The art of medicine cannot be inherited, nor can it be copied from books

For it is we who must pray for our daily bread, and if He grants it to us, it is only through our labour, our skill and preparation.

The spirit is the master; imagination the tool, and the body the plastic material ...The power of the imagination is a great factor in medicine. It may produce diseases in man and in animals, and it may cure them ..Ills of the body may be cured by physical remedies or by the power of the spirit acting through the soul.

Thoughts create a new heaven, a new firmament, a new source of energy, from which new arts flow.

The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. Therefore the physician must start from nature, with an open mind.

Medicine is not merely a science but an art. The character of the physician may act more powerfully upon the patient than the drugs employed.

Could we but rightly comprehend the mind of man, nothing would be impossible to us upon the earth.
