  • If the patient has been to more than four physicians, nutrition is probably the medical answer.

  • Remember. You are a physician. You are not a policeman nor are you a minister of religion. You must take people as they come. Remember, too that though you will generally know more about the condition than the patient, it is the patient who has the condition and this if nothing else bestows on him or her a kind of wisdom. You have the knowledge but that does not entitle you to be superior. Knowledge makes you the servant not the master.

  • Prescription: A physician's guess at what will best prolong the situation with least harm to the patient.

  • Keep away from physicians. It is all probing and guessing and pretending with them. They leave it to Nature to cure in her own time, but they take the credit. As well as very fat fees.

  • As a physician, I am embarrassed by my profession's lack of interest in healthier lifestyles. We need to change the way we approach chronic disease.

  • Faith believes in spite of the circumstances and acts in spite of the consequences.

  • I ain't won but one. My team won the rest in spite of me.

  • Lampard, for me, was a marvellous servant for Chelsea, but I didn't think of him as an elite international footballer. And I am one of the few who felt Gerrard was not a top, top player.

  • In free governments the rulers are the servants and the people are their superiors and sovereigns.

  • A civil servant doesn't make jokes.
