"Skin diseases are something doctors like, the..." - Quote by H L Mencken

“If the American people really tire of democracy and want to make a trial of Fascism, I shall be the last person to object. But if that is their mood, then they had better proceed toward their aim by changing the Constitution and not by forgetting it.”

“One of the main purposes of laws in a democratic society is to put burdens upon intelligence and reduce it to impotence. Ostensibly, their aim is to penalize anti-social acts; actually their aim is to penalize heretical opinions. At least ninety-five Americans out of every 100 believe that this process is honest and even laudable; it is practically impossible to convince them that there is anything evil in it. In other words, they cannot grasp the concept of liberty.”

“A man's women folk, whatever their outward show of respect for his merit and authority, always regard him secretly as an ass, and with something akin to pity.”

“What a doctor I've got - he's really mixed up. Last week, he grabbed my knee and told me to cough. Then hit me in the balls with a hammer.”

“I told my doctor I got water on my knee, he gave me a sponge and raised his fee!”

“I know of nothing more laughable than a doctor who does not die of old age.”

“Injections are the best thing ever invented for feeding doctors.”

“A doctor's reputation is made by the number of eminent men who die under his care.”

“It is no part of a physician's business to use either persuasion or compulsion upon the patients.”
