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.
ParacelsusThe art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. Therefore the physician must start from nature, with an open mind.
ParacelsusAlterius non sit qui suus esse potest. (Let no man belong to another that can belong to himself.)
