“Doctor Johnson said, that in sickness there were three things that were material; the physician, the disease, and the patient: and if any two of these joined, then they get the victory; for, Ne Hercules quidem contra duos [Not even Hercules himself is a match for two]. If the physician and the patient join, then down goes the disease; for then the patient recovers: if the physician and the disease join, that is a strong disease; and the physician mistaking the cure, then down goes the patient: if the patient and the disease join, then down goes the physician; for he is discredited.” IfsSaidTwoScienceThreeStrongMaterialsVictoryDiseaseDoctorsPatientCuresSicknessPhysiciansThree ThingsJohnsonDuos Author:Francis Bacon
“In truth , mankind cannot be saved from without, by schoolmasters or any other sort of masters: it can only be lamed and enslaved by them. It is said that if you wash a cat it will never again wash itself. This may or may not be true : what is certain is that if you teach a man anything he will never learn it; and if you cure him of a disease he will be unable to cure himself the next time it attacks him.” IfsMenMaySaidCertainNextTeachMankindMastersDiseaseCatSavedCuresBeing TrueNext Time Book:Back to Methuselah Source: Back to Methuselah
