More quotes by William Osler
The greater the ignorance the greater the dogmatism.
William Osler
It is much more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease than what sort of a disease a patient has.
William Osler
It is not as if our homeopathic brothers are asleep: far from it, they are awake - many of them at any rate - to the importance of the scientific study of disease.
William Osler
The hardest conviction to get into the mind of a beginner is that the education upon which he is engaged is not a college course, not a medical course, but a life course, for which the work of a few years under teachers is but a preparation.
William Osler
The person who takes medicine must recover twice, once from the disease and once from the medicine.
William Osler
The young physician starts life with 20 drugs for each disease, and the old physician ends life with one drug for 20 diseases.
William Osler
It is not the delicate neurotic person who is prone to angina, but the robust, the vigorous in mind and body, the keen and ambitious man, the indicator of whose engines is always at full speed ahead.
William Osler
Beware of people who call you 'Doc.' They rarely pay their bills.
William Osler

It is no disparagement to the many skilled physicians who have put their cases upon record to say that, in fully one-half the diagnosis was made post mortem.
William Osler
Shed, as you do your garments, your daily sins, whether of omission or commission, and you will wake a free man, with a new life.
William Osler
The very first step towards success in any occupation is to become interested in it.
William Osler
The successful teacher is no longer on a height, pumping knowledge at high pressure into passive receptacles.
William Osler
Nothing will sustain you more potently than the power to recognize in your humdrum routine, as perhaps it may be thought, the true poetry of life.
William Osler
Half of us are blind, few of us feel, and we are all deaf.
William Osler
The most essential thing for happiness is the gift of friendship.
William Osler
But whatever you do, take neither yourselves nor your fellow-creatures too seriously. There is tragedy enough in our daily routine, but there is room too for a keen sense of the absurdities and incongruities of life, and in the shifting panorama no one sees better than the doctor the perennial sameness of men’s ways.
William Osler
In the Mortality Bills, pneumonia is an easy second, to tuberculosis indeed in many cities the death-rate is now higher and it has become, to use the phrase of Bunyan 'the captain of the men of death.'
William Osler
He who knows syphilis knows medicine
William Osler
Without faith a man can do nothing with it all things are possible.
William Osler
Humanity has but three great enemies: fever, famine, and war of these by far the greatest, by far the most terrible, is fever.
William Osler
