Medicine heals doubts as well as diseases.
Karl Marx

Medicine is a science of uncertainty and an art of probability.
William Osler

Medicine is my lawful wife and literature my mistress; when I get tired of one, I spend the night with the other.
Anton Chekhov

Medicine is not only a science; it is also an art. It does not consist of compounding pills and plasters; it deals with the very processes of life, which must be understood before they may be guided.
Paracelsus

Medicine rests upon four pillars - philosophy, astronomy, alchemy, and ethics.
Paracelsus

Medicine sometimes snatches away health, sometimes gives it.
Ovid

Medicine to produce health must examine disease; and music, to create harmony must investigate discord.
Plutarch

Medicine, the only profession that labors incessantly to destroy the reason for its existence.
James Bryce

Modern medicine is a negation of health. It isn't organized to serve human health, but only itself, as an institution. It makes more people sick than it heals.
Ivan Illich

Most ballet teachers in the United States are terrible. If they were in medicine, everyone would be poisoned.
George Balanchine

Music is the medicine of the mind.

Jack Bowman

My dad was good friends with the Bad Medicine Blues Band - one of the only blues bands in Fargo, as you can imagine! He took me out to see them play when I was 12 years old and I was really inspired by their guitar player, Ted Larsen.
Jonny Lang

My father wanted me to be a pharmacist like himself. He had been a doctor, but he no longer believed in medicine; so he became a pharmacist, but he believed in that hardly more.
Claude Chabrol

My goal was to develop into an independent research scientist studying clinical problems at the laboratory bench, but I felt that postgraduate residency training in internal medicine was necessary.
Peter Agre

My latter schooldays and my university days were during the war, when science - physics, in particular - was a very important and glamorous subject. A lot of us felt that if we couldn't get into science, we might try engineering or medicine.
John Henry Carver

My sense is that we're ready for another industrial revolution in this country. The great minds and innovators of Silicon Valley would come through China and say, The pipeline is full of ideas - there's personalized medicine, biotechnology, new forms to power ourselves, clean energy, etc., etc.
Jon Huntsman, Jr.

New drugs and surgical techniques offer promise in the fight against cancer, Alzheimer's, tuberculosis, AIDS, and a host of other life-threatening diseases. Animal research has been, and continues to be, fundamental to advancements in medicine.
Daniel Akaka

No one should have to choose between medicine and other necessities. No one should have to use the emergency room every time a child gets sick. And no one should have to live in constant fear that a medical problem will become a financial crisis.
Brad Henry

No patent medicine was ever put to wider and more varied use than the Fourteenth Amendment.
William O. Douglas
