Famous quotes containing the word medicine:

    “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)

    “God isn’t compatible with machinery and scientific medicine and universal happiness. You must make your choice. Our civilization has chosen machinery and medicine and happiness.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “As there is a use in medicine for poisons, so the world cannot move without rogues.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
