Famous quotes containing the words chemistry and/or medicine:

    “If thought makes free, so does the moral sentiment. The mixtures of spiritual chemistry refuse to be analyzed.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “We gave ‘em wings to fly and they rained death on us. We gave ‘em a voice to be heard around the world and they preach hatred to poison the minds of nations. Even the medicine we gave them to ease their pain is turned into a vice to enslave half mankind for the profit of a few. Ah, Janet, dear, don’t you see? Every gift that science has given them has been twisted into a thing of hate and greed.”
    —Karl Brown (1897–1990)
