"The art of medicine was to be properly learned only from its practice and its exercise." ― Thomas Sydenham Topic(s): Faith Tags: medicine More From Thomas Sydenham "The arrival of a good clown exercises a more beneficial influence upon the health of a town than of twenty asses laden with drugs." More In Faith "A person is born with feelings of envy and hate. If he gives way to them, they will lead him to violence and crime, and any sense of loyalty and good faith will be abandoned."― Xun Zi "My coming to faith did not start with a leap but rather a series of staggers from what seemed like one safe place to another. Like lily pads, round and green, these places summoned and then held me up while I grew. Each prepared me for the next leaf on which I would land, and in this way I moved across the swamp of doubt and fear."― Anne Lamott "Faith is part of who I am, yes. I was raised Christian Scientist. The most important thing I saw every single week on the wall at Sunday school was the Golden Rule."― Ellen DeGeneres
