Omnes homines artem medicam nôsse oportet.——Sapientiæ cognitionem medicinæ sororem ac contubernalem esse puto.

Hippocrates.

Primoque medendi scientia, sapientiæ pars habebatur.——Rationalem quidem puto medicinam esse debere.

Celsus.

Quemadmodum sanitas omnium rerum pretium excedit, omnisque felicitas fundamentum est, ita scientia vitæ ac sanitatis tuendæ omnium nobilissima, omnibusque hominibus commendatissima esse debet.

Hoffman.
