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
Now of the difficulties bound up with the public in which we doctors work, I hesitate to speak in a mixed audience. Common sense in matters medical is rare, and is usually in inverse ratio to the degree of education.
William Osler
Too many men slip early out of the habit of studious reading, and yet that is essential.
William Osler
The most essential thing for happiness is the gift of friendship.
William Osler
To know just what has do be done, then to do it, comprises the whole philosophy of practical life.
William Osler
The natural man has only two primal passions, to get and beget.
William Osler
Take the sum of human achievement in action, in science, in art, in literature subtract the work of the men above forty, and while we should miss great treasures, even priceless treasures, we would practically be where we are today ... The effective, moving, vitalizing work of the world is done between the ages of twenty-five and forty.
William Osler
Save the fleeting minute learn gracefully to dodge the bore.
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
