Famous quotes containing the word doctor:

    “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)

    “You are not a doctor of dentistry! You are a doctor of segregation!”
    —Annie Elizabeth Delany (b. 1891)

    “A doctor, like anyone else who has to deal with human beings, each of them unique, cannot be a scientist; he is either, like the surgeon, a craftsman, or, like the physician and the psychologist, an artist.... This means that in order to be a good doctor a man must also have a good character, that is to say, whatever weaknesses and foibles he may have, he must love his fellow human beings in the concrete and desire their good before his own.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
