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)

    “He said that private practice in medicine ought to be put down by law. When I asked him why, he said that private doctors were ignorant licensed murders.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

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