Paracelsus

Sickness is the hammer which strikes the soul into shape.

Do not despise the lore of the old physicians; build upon it.

The signature of all things is the divine hand.

Elixir of life is found in harmony with nature.

Observation is the key to discovery.

The mind cures more than the hand.

All metals are born from the womb of the earth.

Wisdom comes from experience, not from books alone.

The soul's fire is quenched by ignorance.

Chemistry reveals the secrets of the creator.

He who fears death cannot live fully.

Plants hold the remedies for all ills.

The alchemist's gold is inner peace.

Study the macrocosm to understand the microcosm.

Diseases are but messengers from the divine.

The true spagyric art is to separate, purify, and recombine.

Life is a perpetual distillation.

Ignore not the whispers of the elements.

Healing is an act of faith.

The philosopher's stone is knowledge.
