Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

No disease that can be treated by diet should be treated with any other means.

Medicine is a science of uncertainty and an art of probability.

Everyone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food.

Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world.

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.

Indifference towards people and the reality in which they live is actually the one and only cardinal sin in design.

I do not speak the minds of others except to speak my own mind better.

This is a sharp Medicine, but it is a Physician for all Diseases and Miseries.

When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?

Only if we understand can we care. Only if we care will we help. Only if we help shall they be saved.

A wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings, and learn how by his own thought to derive benefit from his illnesses.

People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Insist on yourself; never imitate.

In the great chain of causes and effects, no single fact can be considered in isolation.

Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.

Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.

Every man is, no doubt, by nature, first and principally recommended to his own care; and as he is fitter to take care of himself than of any other person, it is fit and right that it should be so.

If anything is sacred the human body is sacred.
