There can be no scientific dispute with respect to faith, for science and faith exclude one another.

The task of science, therefore, is not to attack the objects of faith, but to establish the limits beyond which knowledge cannot go and found a unified self-consciousness within these limits.

First, it must be a pleasure to study the human body the most miraculous masterpiece of nature and to learn about the smallest vessel and the smallest fiber. But second and most important, the medical profession gives the opportunity to alleviate the troubles of the body, to ease the pain, to console a person who is in distress, and to lighten the hour of death of many a sufferer.

Between animal and human medicine, there is no dividing line-nor should there be.

Medical education does not exist to provide students with a way of making a living, but to ensure the health of the community.

Laws should be made, not against quacks but against superstition.

The task of science is to stake out the limits of the knowable, and to center consciousness within them.
