Control your thoughts. Decide about that which you will think and concentrate upon. You are in charge of your life to the degree you take charge of your thoughts.
The more you live in the present moment, the more the fear of death disappears.
Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.
The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but thought about it. Be aware of the thoughts you are thinking. Separate them from the situation, which is always neutral. It is as it is.
We can learn not to keep situations or events alive in our minds, but to return our attention continuously to the pristine, timeless present moment rather than be caught up in mental movie making.
Stress is caused by being here but wanting to be there, or being in the present but wanting to be in the future. It’s a split that tears you apart inside.
Most people spend their entire life imprisoned within the confines of their own thoughts. They never go beyond a narrow, mind-made, personalized sense of self that is conditioned by the past.
Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry.
The very first requirement in a hospital is that it should do the sick no harm.
I have spent all my life resisting the desire to end it.
I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself.
Nature itself is the best physician.
The wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings. Let food be your medicine.
Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.
It’s far more important to know what person the disease has than what disease the person has.
A wise man ought to realize that health is his most valuable possession.
Even when all is known, the care of a man is not yet complete, because eating alone will not keep a man well; he must also take exercise. For food and exercise, while possessing opposite qualities, yet work together to produce health.
Cure sometimes, treat often, comfort always.
Healing in a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.
Wherever the art of Medicine is loved, there is also a love of Humanity.
