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)

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

    Confucius.
