William Osler

William Osler

William Osler
We are constantly misled by the ease with which our minds fall into the ruts of one or two experiences
William Osler

William Osler
Without faith a man can do nothing with it all things are possible.
William Osler
Happiness lies in the absorption in some vocation which satisfies the soul.
William Osler
The hardest conviction to get into the mind of a beginner is that the education upon which he is engaged is not a college course, not a medical course, but a life course, for which the work of a few years under teachers is but a preparation.
William Osler
Think not of the amount to be accomplished, the difficulties to be overcome, or the end to be attained, but set earnestly at the little task at your elbow, letting that be sufficient for the day.
William Osler
