William Osler
The most essential thing for happiness is the gift of friendship.
William Osler
Throw away all ambition beyond that of doing the day's work well. The travelers on the road to success live in the present, heedless of taking thought for the morrow. Live neither in the past nor in the future, but let each day's work absorb your entire energies, and satisfy your wildest ambition.
William Osler
No man is really happy or safe without a hobby.
William Osler

William Osler
It is not... That some people do not know what to do with truth when it is offered to them, But the tragic fate is to reach, after patient search, a condition of mind-blindness, in which. The truth is not recognized, though it stares you in the face.
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
That man can interrogate as well as observe nature was a lesson slowly learned in his evolution.
William Osler
There are three classes of human beings: men, women and women physicians.
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
Too many men slip early out of the habit of studious reading, and yet that is essential.
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
When schemes are laid in advance, it is surprising how often the circumstances will fit in with them.
William Osler
He who studies medicine without books sails an uncharted sea, but he who studies medicine without patients does not go to sea at all.
William Osler
