More quotes by William Osler
It cannot be too often or too forcibly brought home to us that the hope of the profession is with the men who do its daily work in general practice.
William Osler
The trained nurse has become one of the great blessings of humanity, taking a place beside the physician and the priest.
William Osler
We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from life.
William Osler
There is no more potent antidote to the corroding influence of mammon than the presence in the community of a body of men devoted to science, living for investigation and caring nothing for the lust of the eyes and the pride of life.
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
Happiness lies in the absorption in some vocation which satisfies the soul.
William Osler
A man is sane morally at thirty, rich mentally at forty, wise spiritually at fifty-or never!
William Osler
Perhaps no sin so easily besets us as a sense of self-satisfied superiority to others.
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
Throw away all ambition beyond that of doing the day's work well. The travelers on the road to success live in the present, heedless of taking thought for the morrow. Live neither in the past nor in the future, but let each day's work absorb your entire energies, and satisfy your wildest ambition.
William Osler
Faith is a most precious commodity, without which we should be very badly off.
William Osler
The natural man has only two primal passions, to get and beget.
William Osler
The great minds, the great works transcend all limitations of time, of language, and of race, and the scholar can never feel initiated into the company of the elect until he can approach all of life's problems from the cosmopolitan standpoint.
William Osler
Patients should have rest, food, fresh air, and exercise - the quadrangle of health.
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
The teacher's life should have three periods, study until twenty-five, investigation until forty, profession until sixty, at which age I would have him retired on a double allowance.
William Osler
Jaundice is the disease that your friends diagnose.
William Osler
A library represents the mind of its collector, fancies and foibles, strengths and weaknesses, prejudices and preferences.
William Osler
Medicine is learned by the bedside and not in the classroom. Let not your conceptions of disease come from words heard in the lecture room or read from the book. See, and then reason and compare and control. But see first.
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
