Vita brevis, ars vero longa, occasio praeceps, experientia fallax, judicium difficile.
Natura sanat, medicus curat morbos.
Medicus curat, natura sanat.
Life is short, and the Art long; the occasion fleeting; experience fallacious, and judgment difficult. The physician must not only be prepared to do what is right himself, but also to make the patient, the attendants, and externals cooperate.
