Famous quotes containing the word medicine:

    Good medicine is bitter to the taste.
    Chinese proverb.

    We gave ‘em wings to fly and they rained death on us. We gave ‘em a voice to be heard around the world and they preach hatred to poison the minds of nations. Even the medicine we gave them to ease their pain is turned into a vice to enslave half mankind for the profit of a few. Ah, Janet, dear, don’t you see? Every gift that science has given them has been twisted into a thing of hate and greed.
    Karl Brown (1897–1990)

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

    Confucius.
