“There is sometimes more Skill shewed by a Physician in not Prescribing, than in Prescribing. And there is no better Remedy for some Diseases, than to let them alone : for unseasonable meddling with them, may hinder their proceeding to a Crisis, and at long Run they will mend of themselves.”
“As to diseases, make a habit of two things—to help, or at least to do no harm.”
“First do no harm. (Latin: Primum non nocere)”
“Thou speak’st like a physician, Helicanus, That ministers a potion unto me That thou wouldst tremble to receive thyself.”
“Les médecins administrent des médicaments dont ils savent très peu, à des malades dont ils savent moins, pour guérir des maladies dont ils ne savent rien.”
