Vis selon la nature, sois patient, & chasse les médecins ; tu n’éviteras pas la mort, mais tu ne la sentiras qu’une fois, tandis qu’ils la portent chaque jour dans ton imagination troublée, & que leur art mensonger, au lieu de prolonger tes jours, t’en ôte la jouissance. Je demanderai toujours quel vrai bien cet art a fait aux hommes. Quelques-unes de ceux qu’il guérit mourraient, il est vrai ; mais des millions qu’il tue resteraient en vie. Homme sensé, ne mets point à cette loterie, où trop de chances sont contre toi. Souffre, meurs ou guéris ; mais surtout vis jusqu’à ta dernière heure.
