Bernie Siegel Quotes

Love and kindness are the basis of my religious beliefs. The rituals and outward signs are not as important as one’s actions and deeds. Religion should be a path to God, not something to fight about Picture Quote #1

I know patients who bring a dozen roses to the doctor’s office. And, boy, the next visit, nobody forgets that. You come in and hey - ‘Here’s the lady who brought the roses’ vs. ‘Here’s the lung cancer.’ Picture Quote #1

Society should see parenting as a public health issue and help parents to bring their children up feeling loved. We have birthing classes, but no parenting classes. The latter is desperately needed if we are to avoid self-destruction Picture Quote #1

Love is giving with no expectations...Love cures, heals, and rewards two people: the lover and the beloved Picture Quote #1

If I were rewriting ‘Love, Medicine and Miracles,’ I might consider changing its title to ‘The Side Effects of Cancer.’ Healing is hard work, as is any change one must make in one’s life. I and others have learned, however, that the side effects of cancer may not all be bad ones Picture Quote #1

When one teenager dying of cystic fibrosis asked me, ‘Why am I different?’ I answered, ‘Tony, because it makes you beautiful.’ He loved my answer because he knew full well how much he had done for the world and that he would be immortal through his love and the fund raising of those who knew him hoping to find a cure for cystic fibrosis Picture Quote #1

Animal intuitives can diagnose an animal’s physical health problems by listening to the animals Picture Quote #1

To me, animal communication seemed an insane idea, years ago; but my experience altered my life and my beliefs Picture Quote #1

Mind-body medicine should not be an ‘alternative,’ nor should complementary and integrative medicine be something doctors are not exposed to during their training Picture Quote #1

One of the best ways to change is to act as if you are the person you want to become. When you behave as if you are a different person, you change on a very basic level - even your physiology changes. When actors and actresses perform, their body chemistry is altered by the roles they play Picture Quote #1

The doctor that acts out of love doesn’t burn out. He or she may get tired physically, but not emotionally Picture Quote #1

Life is a miracle, and we need to not fear trying to achieve our potential and reveal the remarkable creation we and all living things are and that our Creator has built into us the ability to induce self-healing Picture Quote #1

If God had made a perfect world, it would be a magic trick, not creation, with no meaning or place for us to learn and create. Mankind is not yet ready for a perfect world. We do not know how to appreciate perfection Picture Quote #1

By relaxation, I don’t mean falling asleep in front of the TV set or unwinding with friends. The kind I’m talking about is a quieting of mental activity and withdrawal of body and mind from external stimulation Picture Quote #1

I had patients who didn’t die because they had too many pets to try to find homes for. It’s why women live longer than men with the same health problems Picture Quote #1

Doctors are busy playing God when so few of us have the qualifications. And besides, the job is taken Picture Quote #1

Traditional doctors say I’m a mystic. I don’t deny it Picture Quote #1

You cannot fail at being yourself. A cat doesn’t try to be a tiger, and you shouldn’t try to be something you aren’t. You are a process, not a product. Your job is to discover what you are and create that creature. You still won’t be perfect, but success isn’t about perfection-it is about authenticity. You are a success if you are being your real, authentic self Picture Quote #1

When my body gets to the point where I can no longer function or feel gratitude, then I’ll leave it and become grateful again. But until then, I will appreciate what I have and not whine about what I don’t have. I will feel blessed by life and the opportunity to help others see that they are blessed, too Picture Quote #1

Being a survivor doesn’t mean being strong - it’s telling people when you need a meal or a ride, company, whatever. It’s paying attention to heart wisdom, feelings, not living a role, but having a unique, authentic life, having something to contribute, finding time to love and laugh. All these things are qualities of survivors Picture Quote #1

I am convinced that unconditional love is the most powerful known stimulant of the immune system. If I told patients to raise their blood levels of immune globulins or killer T cells, no one would know how. But if I can teach them to love themselves and others fully, the same changes happen automatically. The truth is: love heals Picture Quote #1

True inspiration overrides all fears. When you are inspired, you enter a trance state and can accomplish things that you may never have felt capable of doing Picture Quote #1

I use music in the operating room to help create a healing environment for patients and staff. There is a reason that certain heart rates are healthy and certain beats of music heal and relax us Picture Quote #1

There is no such thing as an incurable disease, only incurable people Picture Quote #1

If you talk to your body, it will listen Picture Quote #1

Act as if you are the person you want to be Picture Quote #1

I believe the reason we sleep is not just to allow our body to rest but that it is to allow this inner wisdom to speak to us through symbols. This includes the body or somatic problems as well as psychological ones. Dreams and drawings are useful in diagnosing physical conditions Picture Quote #1

You can survive tough situations and even turn them to your advantage by acting as if you are the person you want to be. When you act like that person, you can become that person. The hard parts are deciding whom you want to become, being willing to rehearse until you become that person, and forgiving yourself until you do Picture Quote #1

Diseases can be our spiritual flat tires - disruptions in our lives that seem to be disasters at the time but end by redirecting our lives in a meaningful way Picture Quote #1

We participate and are responsible for a lot of the things that happen to us. If you hate your job, you are much more likely to get sick and die at a younger age than someone who’s happy at work and has a nice family life and is mentally well adjusted Picture Quote #1
