In seeking absolute truth we aim at the unattainable and must be content with broken portions.

The clean tongue, the clear head, and the bright eye are birthrights of each day.

At the outset do not be worried about this big question-Truth. It is a very simple matter if each one of you starts with the desire to get as much as possible. No human being is constituted to know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth; and even the best of men must be content with fragments, with partial glimpses, never the full fruition. In this unsatisfied quest the attitude of mind, the desire, the thirst-a thirst that from the soul must arise!-the fervent longing, are the be-all and the end-all.

Half of us are blind, few of us feel, and we are all deaf.

To have striven, to have made the effort, to have been true to certain ideals - this alone is worth the struggle.

The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.

Jaundice is the disease that your friends diagnose.
