Poem adapted from the Odes of Pindar, 470 BCE

Within this huge book on the Medicine of Life I found this wonderful poem.

"The art of Medicine is rooted in the heart.
If your heart is false, you will also be a false physician.
If your heart is just, you will also be a true physician.
Therefore go forth in all your speed,
And may your hands be as good as your heart."
