DANIEL D. PALMER

The advancement of all sciences, especially where there has been such a radical change, have been attended with persecution.

The most wonderful study of mankind is man. Relieving human suffering and diffusing universal knowledge is humanitarian.

The mill cannot grind with the water that is past.

The mind must be cured as well as the body, as the mind so is the body.

Study first, play afterwards.

The spiritual is the cause of action. Action is life.

The best physicians are Dr. Diet, Dr. Quiet, and Dr. Merryman.

Little deeds are like little seeds, they grow to flowers or to weeds.

The spiritual always did exist, always will. It is eternal, it is changeless.

Grief causes suffering and disease.

Excelsior, higher and higher, but only step by step.

Man is a physical and spiritual epitome of the Universe.

He who obeys God's laws finds him a father. He who disobeys them, finds him a judge.

Innate is a segment of the All-Wise; Educated is an offspring of innate, a servant for its lifetime only. Educated continues with and lasts as long as life exists; Innate is eternal, always was and always will be.

Chiropractic is founded upon different principles than those of medicine.

The philosophy of chiropractic is founded upon the knowledge of the manner in which a vital functions are performed by innate in health and disease. When the controlling intelligence is able to transmit mental impulses to all parts of the body, free and unobstructed, we have normal action which is health.

Pressure on nerves causes irriatation and tension with deranged functions as a result. Why not release the pressure? Why not adjust the cause instead of treating the effects? Why not?

There is a vast difference between treating effects and adjusting the cause.

Disease is a disturbed condition, not a thing or entity.

Innate directs its vital energy through the nervous system to specialize the coordination and sensation and volition through the cumulative and vegetative functions.

I feel it my bounden duty to not only replace displaced bones, but also teach others, so that the physical and spiritual may enjoy health, happiness and the full fruition of our earthly lives.

That which I named 'innate' is a segment of that intelligence which fills the universe.

The basic principle, and the principles of chiropractic which have been developed from it are not new. They are as old as the vertebrae... I am not the first person to replace subluxated vertebra, for this art has been practiced for thousands of years.

Drugs are delusive; they do not adjust anything.

Life is the expression of tone. In that sentence is the basic principle of Chiropractic.
