\begin{quote}  I am Theophrastus, and greater than those to whom you liken me [\textit{Paracelsus} means "next to \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aulus_Cornelius_Celsus}{Celsus}", a Greek scholar of medicine]; I am Theophrastus, and in addition I am \textit{monarcha medicorum} [prince of physicians] and I can prove to you what you cannot prove...I need not don a coat of mail or a buckler against you, for you are not learned or experienced enough to refute even a word of mine...As for you, you can defend your kingdom with belly-crawling and flattery. How long do you think this will last?... Let me tell you this: every little hair on my neck knows more than you and all your scribes, and my shoe buckles are more learned than your Galen and Avicenna, and my beard has more experience than all your high colleges \cite{Jacobi1951}. (\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracelsus#Trivia}{Wikipedia}).  \end{quote}
