Famous quotes containing the word medicine:

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

    Confucius.

    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)
