Famous quotes containing the words science and/or medicine:

    “It is not too much to say that next after the passion to learn there is no quality so indispensable to the successful prosecution of science as imagination. Find me a people whose early medicine is not mixed up with magic and incantations, and I will find you a people devoid of all scientific ability.”
    —Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    “Authority, though it err like others,
    Hath yet a kind of medicine in itself,
    That skins the vice o’ the top.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
