More quotes by William Osler
Listen to your patient, he is telling you the diagnosis.
William Osler
The higher the standard of education in a profession, the less marked will be the charlatanism.
William Osler
Half of us are blind, few of us feel, and we are all deaf.
William Osler
Be calm and strong and patient. Meet failure and disappointment with courage. Rise superior to the trials of life, and never give in to hopelessness or despair. In danger, in adversity, cling to your principles and ideals. Aequanimitas!
William Osler
One special advantage of the skeptical attitude of mind is that a man is never vexed to find that after all he has been in the wrong.
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
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
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 person who takes medicine must recover twice, once from the disease and once from the medicine.
William Osler
There are only two sorts of doctors those who practise with their brains, and those who practise with their tongues.
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
Taking a lady's hand gives her confidence in her physician.
William Osler
Save the fleeting minute learn gracefully to dodge the bore.
William Osler
Few diseases present greater difficulties in the way of diagnosis than malignant endocarditis, difficulties which in many cases are practi- cally insurmountable. 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
To it, more than to anything else, I owe whatever success I have had - to this power of settling down to the day's work and trying to do it to the best of one's ability, and letting the future take care of itself.
William Osler
One of the first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take medicine.
William Osler
Too many men slip early out of the habit of studious reading, and yet that is essential.
William Osler
Now the way of life that I preach is a habit to be acquired gradually by long and steady repetition. It is the practice of living for the day only, and for the day's work.
William Osler
We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from life.
William Osler
The Scots are the backbone of Canada. They are all right in their three vital parts - head, heart and haggis.
