Famous quotes containing the word medicine:

    He said that private practice in medicine ought to be put down by law. When I asked him why, he said that private doctors were ignorant licensed murders.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    I hold it that a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.... It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (b. 1926)
