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.

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 physician must give heed to the region in which the patient lives, that is to say, to its type and peculiarities.

Life is like music, it must be composed by ear, feeling and instinct, not by rule. Nevertheless one had better know the rules, for they sometimes guide in doubtful cases, though not often.

Know that the philosopher has power over the stars, and not the stars over him.
