"The natural forces within us are the true healers of disease."

"A wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings, and learn how by his own thought to derive benefit from his illnesses."

"For it is not the physician who cures, but nature, who is the physician of diseases."

"The patient should be made to understand that he is sick from natural causes, and not from the gods."

"The powers of drugs are not in the drugs themselves, but in the patient."
