Physicians

The sun - my almighty physician.
-Thomas Jefferson

I think you might dispense with half your doctors
if you would only consult Dr. Sun more.
-Henry Ward Beecher

There is no physician like a cheerful thought
for dissipating  the ills of the body.
-James Allen

Words are the physicians
of a mind diseased.
-Aeschylus

The best doctors in the world are
Doctor Diet, Doctor Quiet and Doctor Merryman.
-Benjamin Franklin

Nature, time and patience
are the three great physicians.
-Proverb

The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient
while Nature cures the disease.

Healing is not a science,
but the intuitive art of wooing Nature.
-W. H. Auden

Natural healing forces within us
are the true healers of disease.
-Hippocrates

The great secret of medicine,
known to doctors but still hidden from the public,
is that most things get better by themselves.
-Lewis Thomas

It's supposed to be a profession secret,
but I'll tell you anyway.
We doctors do nothing.
We can only help and encourage the doctor within...
We are at best when we give
the doctor who resides within each patient
a chance to go to work.
-Albert Schweitzer

The character of the physician
may act more powerfully on the patient
than the drugs employed.
-Paracelsus

The time will come when the work of the physician
will not be to treat and attempt to heal the body,
but to heal the mind, which in turn will heal the body.
The true physician will be a teacher;
his work will be to keep people well,
instead of trying to heal them after sickness.
-Ralph Waldo Trine

When it becomes a part of every man's thinking

that a single thought can change the polarity of our entire body

toward either life or death - 

it can likewise change its entire chemistry toward increasing alkalinity or acidity

to strengthen it or weaken it -

or can change the shape of every corpuscle of matter in the entire body

in the direction of either growth or decay -

then the medical profession will radically change 

both its principles and its practices with the ailments of bodies.

-Walter Russell

Everyone ought to be his own physician.
We ought to assist and not force nature.
Eat with moderation what agrees with your constitution.
Nothing is good for the body but what we can digest.
What medicine can produce digestion? Exercise.
What will recruit strength? Sleep.
What will alleviate incurable ills? Patience.
-Voltaire

That which contains everything and everyone
is the healer.
-Shaun de Warren

Man doctors, God heals.
-German Proverb
