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

William Osler
Every patient you see is a lesson in much more than the malady from which he suffers.
William Osler
Jaundice is the disease that your friends diagnose.
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
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
No man is really happy or safe without a hobby.
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
Patients rarely die of the disease from which they suffer. Secondary or terminal infections are the real cause of death.
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.
