William Osler

There is tragedy enough in our daily routine, but there is room too for a keen sense of the absurdities and incongruities of life, and in the shifting panorama no one sees better than the doctor the perennial sameness of men’s ways.
William Osler
The desire to take medicine is perhaps the greatest feature which distinguishes man from animals.
William Osler

William Osler
In the Mortality Bills, pneumonia is an easy second, to tuberculosis indeed in many cities the death-rate is now higher and it has become, to use the phrase of Bunyan 'the captain of the men of death.'
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
Medicine is a science of uncertainty and an art of probability.
William Osler
Without faith a man can do nothing with it all things are possible.
William Osler
A man is sane morally at thirty, rich mentally at forty, wise spiritually at fifty-or never!
William Osler
Patients should have rest, food, fresh air, and exercise - the quadrangle of health.
William Osler
Too many men slip early out of the habit of studious reading, and yet that is essential.
William Osler
Shed, as you do your garments, your daily sins, whether of omission or commission, and you will wake a free man, with a new life.
William Osler
