ὁ μέν βίος ἐστὶ βραχύς, ἡ δέ τέχνη μακρά, ὁ δὲ καιρὸς ὀξύς, πεῖρα σφαλερά, ἡ δὲ κρίσις χαλεπή.
生命雖短暫,技藝卻恆長,時機飄忽,經驗不可靠,診斷凝重千鈞
希波克拉底 (Hippocrates)(劉小楓譯)

ho men bios esti brachys, he de techne makra, ho de kairos oksys, peira sphalera, he de krisis chalephEnglish - Translation
Life is short, and Art long; the crisis fleeting; experience perilous, and decision difficult.
