Doctor

Famous quotes containing the word doctor:

“It seems to me that your doctor [Tronchin] is more of a philosopher than a physician. As for me, I much prefer a doctor who is an optimist and who gives me remedies that will improve my health. Philosophical consolations are, after all, useless against real ailments. I know only two kinds of sickness—physical and moral: all the others are purely in the imagination.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

“The said doctor can easily practise upon a page, and, if he does well, he can use his remedies on my son.”
—Catherine De’ Medici (1519–1589)

“The doctor will take you now. He is burly and clean;
Listening, like lover or worshiper, bends at your heart.”
—Robert Penn Warren (1905–1989)
