"No families take so little medicine as..." - Quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr

“A moment's insight is sometimes worth a life's experience.”

“Wisdom is the abstract of the past, but beauty is the promise of the future.”

“Every event that a man would master must be mounted on the run, and no man ever caught the reins of a thought except as it galloped past him.”

“We can't socialize the doctors without socializing the patients.”

“Just a little sheep dip. Panacea for all stomach ailments.”

“Medicine has made all its progress during the past fifty years. ... How many operations that are now in use were known fifty years ago?-they were not operations, they were executions.”

“My grandfather lived to be late 90s on one side and on the other side, 70s or something. And my father died young, at 63. But he didn't take very good care of himself.”

“Thou shouldst eat to live; not live to eat.”

“Not less than two hours a day should be devoted to exercise, and the weather shall be little regarded. If the body is feeble, the mind will not be strong.”
