Paracelsus quotes - page 2

We should become angels and not devils, that's why we have been created and born into the world. Therefore be and stick to what God has chosen you for. (Paracelsus)

Be not another, if you can be yourself.

Paracelsus

The dose makes the poison.

Paracelsus

The interpretation of dreams is a great art.

Paracelsus

However, anyone to whom this happens should not leave his room upon awakening, should speak to no-one, but remain alone and sober until everything comes back to him, and he recalls the dream.

Paracelsus

Thoughts create a new heaven, a new firmament, a new source of energy, from which new arts flow.

Paracelsus

We do not know it because we are fooling away our time with outward and perishing things, and are asleep in regard to that which is real within ourself.

Paracelsus

Nature also forges man, now a gold man, now a silver man, now a fig man, now a bean man.

Paracelsus

For it is we who must pray for our daily bread, and if He grants it to us, it is only through our labour, our skill and preparation.

Paracelsus

But is not He who created it for the sake of the sick body more than the remedy? And is not He who cures the soul, which is more than the body, greater?

Paracelsus

Although Alchemy has now fallen into contempt, and is even considered a thing of the past, the physicain should not be influenced by such judgements. (Paracelsus)

What the eyes perceive in herbs or stones or trees is not yet a remedy; the eyes see only the dross.

Paracelsus

Many have said of Alchemy, that it is for the making of gold and silver. For me such is not the aim, but to consider only what virtue and power may lie in medicines.

Paracelsus

If we want to make a statement about a man's nature on the basis of his physiognomy, we must take everything into account; it is in his distress that a man is tested, for then his nature is revealed.

Paracelsus

This is alchemy, and this is the office of Vulcan; he is the apothecary and chemist of the medicine.

Paracelsus

The physician must give heed to the region in which the patient lives, that is to say, to its type and peculiarities.

Paracelsus

This process is alchemy: its founder is the smith Vulcan.

Paracelsus

For one country is different from another; its earth is different, as are its stones, wines, bread, meat, and everything that grows and thrives in a specific region.

Paracelsus

What sense would it make or what would it benfit a physician if he discovered the origin of the diseases but could not cure or alleviate them?

Paracelsus

From time immemorial artistic insights have been revealed to artists in their sleep and in dreams, so that at all times they ardently desired them.

Paracelsus

The dreams which reveal the supernatural are promises and messages that God sends us directly: they are nothing but His angels, His ministering spirits, who usually appear to us when we are in a great predicament. (Paracelsus)

Dreams are not without meaning wherever thay may come from-from fantasy, from the elements, or from other inspiration.

Paracelsus

All substances are poisons; there is none which is not a poison. The right dose differentiates a poison and a remedy.

Paracelsus

Thoughts are free and subject to no rule. On them rests the freedom of man, and they tower above the light of nature... create a new heaven, a new firmament, a new source of energy from which new arts flow.

Paracelsus

The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. Therefore the physician must start from nature, with an open mind.
