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)

    “Authority, though it err like others,
    Hath yet a kind of medicine in itself,
    That skins the vice o’ the top.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

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

    Confucius.
