Famous quotes containing the word medicine:

    “Good medicine is bitter, but it cures illness.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    Confucius.

    “Hygiene is the corruption of medicine by morality. It is impossible to find a hygienest who does not debase his theory of the healthful with a theory of the virtuous.... The true aim of medicine is not to make men virtuous; it is to safeguard and rescue them from the consequences of their vices.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    “I hold it that a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.... It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
