More from Hippocrates

400 BC·Kos, Greece

Life is short, and Art long; the crisis fleeting; experience perilous, and decision difficult.

-400 AD

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.

-400 AD

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