The world is divided into men who have wit and no religion and men who have religion and no wit.
Ibn Sina
Medicine is not only a science; it is also an art. It does not consist of compounding pills and plasters; it deals with the very processes of life, which must be understood before they may be guided.
Ibn Sina
The knowledge of anything, since all things have causes, is not acquired or complete unless it is known by its causes.
Ibn Sina
There are no incurable diseases; only the lack of will. There are no worthless herbs; only the lack of knowledge.
Ibn Sina
