More quotes by William Osler
Too many men slip early out of the habit of studious reading, and yet that is essential.
William Osler
Medicine is a science of uncertainty and an art of probability.
William Osler
No bubble is so iridescent or floats longer than that blown by the successful teacher.
William Osler
The practice of medicine is an art, not a trade a calling, not a business a calling in which your heart will be exercised equally with your head.
William Osler
A physician who treats himself has a fool for a patient.
William Osler
A well-trained, sensible doctor is one of the most valuable assets of a community.
William Osler
Observe, record, tabulate, communicate. Use your five senses. Learn to see, learn to hear, learn to feel, learn to smell, and know that by practice alone you can become expert.
William Osler
The natural man has only two primal passions, to get and beget.
William Osler
Acquire the art of detachment, the virtue of method, and the quality of thoroughness, but above all the grace of humility.
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
There are only two sorts of doctors those who practise with their brains, and those who practise with their tongues.
William Osler
The true poetry of life: the poetry of the commonplace, of the ordinary man, of the plain, toil-worn woman, with their loves and their joys, their sorrows and their griefs.
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
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
The young doctor should look about early for an avocation, a pastime, that will take him away from patients, pills, and potions.
William Osler
The value of experience is not in seeing much, but in seeing wisely.
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
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
Shut out all of your past except that which will help you weather your tomorrows.
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
