Edward Jenner

The gratitude of the world is my ample reward.

Let us never forget the debt we owe to those who have gone before us.

The future of medicine lies in prevention.

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.

I know not whether the cow-pox has been found to be a specific against the small-pox in any other country, but I am confident that it will be found so in this.

It is not the business of a physician to create diseases, but to cure them.

The joy I felt at the discovery of a remedy for this dreadful disease, was so great, that I could scarcely contain myself.

The grand object of all my exertions has been to render the small-pox as harmless as the measles.

I have been so much engaged in the small-pox, that I have almost forgotten how to write about anything else.

It is a happy circumstance that the cow-pox, which has been so long neglected, should at length be brought into notice.

The most important discovery that ever was made in the whole history of medicine.

I have been so much accustomed to see the small-pox, that I can hardly believe there is such a thing as a healthy child.

The cow-pox is a disease of so mild a nature, that it is scarcely to be called a disease.

I am not a man of many words, but I hope my actions will speak for themselves.

It is a singular fact, that the small-pox, which has been the scourge of mankind for so many centuries, should at length be subdued by a disease of so mild a nature.

I have been so much engaged in the small-pox, that I have almost forgotten how to live.

The greatest discovery that ever was made in the whole history of medicine, is the discovery of a remedy for the small-pox.

I have been so much accustomed to see the small-pox, that I can hardly believe there is such a thing as a healthy adult.

The cow-pox is a disease of so mild a nature, that it is scarcely to be called a malady.

I am not a man of many words, but I hope my work will speak for itself.
