“The basic principle, and the principles of chiropractic which have been developed from it are not new. They are as old as the vertebrae.”

“Chiropractic is a science of healing without drugs.”

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

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

“I am not the first person to replace subluxated vertebra, for this art has been practiced for thousands of years.”

“Reverence for the innate intelligence is the cardinal principle of chiropractic.”

“Pressure on nerves causes irritation and tension with deranged functions as a result.”

“Disease is the abnormal performance of certain functions; the abnormal activity has its causes.”

“Many patients imagine that they have tried everything. True, they have used many remedies, but they have never had the cause of their infirmity adjusted.”

“That which I named 'innate' is a segment of that Intelligence which fills the universe.”

“I have never considered it beneath my dignity to do anything to relieve human suffering.”
