Famous quotes containing the words famous and/or patients:

    “Sole and self-commanded works,
    Fears not undermining days,
    Grows by decays,
    And, by the famous might that lurks
    In reaction and recoil,
    Makes flames to freeze, and ice to boil.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The doctor should be opaque to his patients and, like a mirror, should show them nothing but what is shown to him.”
    —Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
