Famous quotes containing the words science and/or medicine:

    “The present war having so long cut off all communication with Great-Britain, we are not able to make a fair estimate of the state of science in that country. The spirit in which she wages war is the only sample before our eyes, and that does not seem the legitimate offspring either of science or of civilization.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “No medicine in the world can do thee good;
    In thee there is not half an hour’s life.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
