'He who has merely learnt the principles (of medicine) and received no practical instructions, loses his presence of mind when he sees a patient, just as a coward gets confused in a battle. On the other hand, he who through, mere ashness has obtained mere facility in practical work, and nows not the principles of medicine (as taught in books) oes not deserve commendation of the learned but punishment from the King. Both these are unaccomplished and unfit to become practitioners, just as bird wi a single wing is unable to fly."
