Man is a microcosm, or a little world, because he is an extract from all the stars and planets of the whole firmament, from the earth and the elements; and so he is their quintessence.

All that man needs for health and healing has been provided by God in nature, the Challenge of science is to find it.

It is said that a wise man rules over the stars, but this does not mean that he rules over the influences which come from the stars in the sky. It means that he rules over the powers which exist in his own constitution.

The art of medicine has its roots in the heart.

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