More quotes by William Osler
It is not... That some people do not know what to do with truth when it is offered to them, But the tragic fate is to reach, after patient search, a condition of mind-blindness, in which. The truth is not recognized, though it stares you in the face.
William Osler
There is no disease more conducive to clinical humility than aneurysm of the aorta.
William Osler
There are, in truth, no specialties in medicine, since to know fully many of the most important diseases a man must be familiar with their manifestations in many organs.
William Osler
No human being is constituted to know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth and even the best of men must be content with fragments, with partial glimpses, never the full fruition.
William Osler
Even in populous districts, the practice of medicine is a lonely road which winds up-hill all the way and a man may easily go astray and never reach the Delectable Mountains unless he early finds those shepherd guides of whom Bunyan tells, Knowledge, Experience, Watchful, and Sincere.
William Osler
The uselessness of men above sixty years of age and the incalculable benefit it would be in commercial, in political, and in professional life, if as a matter of course, men stopped work at this age.
William Osler
Beware of people who call you 'Doc.' They rarely pay their bills.
William Osler
What is patience but an equanimity which enables you to rise superior to the trials of life.
William Osler
The greater the ignorance the greater the dogmatism.
William Osler
Things cannot always go your way. Learn to accept in silence the minor aggravations, cultivate the gift of taciturnity and consume your own smoke with an extra draught of hard work, so that those about you may not be annoyed with the dust and soot of your complaints.
William Osler
Care more for the individual patient than for the special features of the disease. . . . Put yourself in his place . . . The kindly word, the cheerful greeting, the sympathetic look - these the patient understands.
William Osler
Without egotism and full of feeling, laughter is the music of life.
William Osler
I desire no other epitaph - no hurry about it, I may say - than the statement that I taught medical students in the wards, as I regard this as by far the most useful and important work I have been called upon to do.
William Osler
A physician who treats himself has a fool for a patient.
William Osler
When schemes are laid in advance, it is surprising how often the circumstances will fit in with them.
William Osler
Courage and cheerfulness will not only carry you over the rough places in life, but will enable you to bring comfort and help to the weak-hearted and will console you in the sad hours.
William Osler
The desire to take medicine is perhaps the greatest feature which distinguishes man from animals.
William Osler
The person who takes medicine must recover twice, once from the disease and once from the medicine.
William Osler
Every patient you see is a lesson in much more than the malady from which he suffers.
William Osler
Without faith a man can do nothing with it all things are possible.
William Osler
