Keep a watch also on the faults of the patients, which often make them lie about the taking of things prescribed.
可憐之人，必有可惡之處。不可盡信病患一面之詞！
所有病患自訴，永遠存疑，違反醫囑，是治療失敗最常見原因。

Life is short, the art long.
人生苦短，醫道無窮！
The art is long, life is short.
生命有時盡，醫術無盡長。

Make a habit of two things: to help; or at least to do no harm.
先求無所失，再求有所得。
Whenever a doctor cannot do good, he must be kept from doing harm.
寧無寸功，勿貽尺害。
（以上兩句都是First, Do No Harm)

Many admire, few know.
粉絲滿坑，達人難尋。

Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.
醫生只是配角，造化才是主人。

Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand.
求神悲憫眷顧，當然是好的。但天助自助，我們得幫上帝一把！

The chief virtue that language can have is clearness, and nothing detracts from it so much as the use of unfamiliar words.
語言之義，義在交通達意，淺明是尚，老嫗童子可解。傷文之害，害莫大于玩弄文字曖昧。

Hippocrates的教導，讀來有伊索寓言的靈犀、尚書的簡潔。。。。。紀昀奉旨登壇祈雨，打開詔書竟然是空白，眾目睽睽等他朗讀祭文，他臨危不亂，當場掰詞，將尚書各章摘句，湊成一篇：念到：

這個七步成詩真是太好。好在哪里？像少林高僧出手，大巧為拙，返璞歸真，卻斷碑裂石。那語氣就是皇帝老子對龍王下命令，不但字字有出典，又句句恢弘大派，語氣直白，不怒自威，總司令對中尉發令，沒的商量。讀Hippocrates語錄，也像紀昀的祭雨，典型在夙昔。

*　【咨爾多士，為民前鋒】的“咨爾”正是出自其尚書的語句。國歌歌詞原是從國父對黃埔的開訓演講稿脫胎，胡漢民起頭，一人兩句，最后再作文字潤飾總其大成。四書五經１３經是科舉的指定必考，胡２１歲就中舉，革命是因為救亡圖存，絕非考不上吃醋。自己擠不進仕途宦達就要推翻既得利益階級取而代之。他的國學底子好，（跟那個誰一樣。。。。。。）
