Rhazes (Al-Razi)

If the physician is a philosopher, he is the best of physicians.

The physician should be a man of science, a man of art, and a man of humanity.

Truth in medicine is not found in books, but in observation and experience.

The best way to cure a disease is to prevent it.

The physician must be a perpetual student, always learning and always improving.

Do not be ashamed to admit your ignorance, for it is the first step towards knowledge.

The greatest enemy of truth is not falsehood, but prejudice.

The physician should treat the patient, not just the disease.

Patience is the key to success in medicine.

The physician's art is to heal, and sometimes to comfort, but always to do no harm.

The wise physician does not rely solely on books, but also on his own observations and experiments.

The physician who does not read is like a blind man who tries to find his way in the dark.

The more you know, the more you realize how much you don't know.

The physician must be a good listener, for the patient often holds the key to his own cure.

Experience is the best teacher, especially in medicine.

The physician should be humble, for he is but an instrument in the hands of God.

The physician who loves his profession will never cease to learn.

The physician's duty is to prolong life and alleviate suffering.

The physician should be a master of observation, for the smallest detail can be significant.

The physician who is not compassionate is not a true physician.
