Famous quotes containing the word medicine:

    “I have noticed that doctors who fail in the practice of medicine have a tendency to seek one another’s company and aid in consultation. A doctor who cannot take out your appendix properly will recommend you to a doctor who will be unable to remove your tonsils with success.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “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)

    “No medicine in the world can do thee good;
    In thee there is not half an hour’s life.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
