references:
William Shakespeare - Henry IV, Part I: "The better part of valour is
discretion"
quoted by Paracelsus to Vincent
Paracelsus: John Pater chose for himself the name of Paracelsus after the alchemist, physician, astrologer, occultist Theophrastus Philippus Aureolus Bombastus von Hohenheim (1493-1541), a Renaissance genius, arrogant and rootless, whose pseudonym means 'above or beyond Celsus', implying that he was greater physician than the then-revered 1st century Roman medical writer Aulus Cornelius Celsus. A rebellious thinker, Paracelsus developed his own system of medicine and philosophy, and established the role of chemistry in medicine.
