William Osler
Beware of people who call you 'Doc.' They rarely pay their bills.
William Osler

William Osler
The great minds, the great works transcend all limitations of time, of language, and of race, and the scholar can never feel initiated into the company of the elect until he can approach all of life's problems from the cosmopolitan standpoint.
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
The extraordinary development of modern science may be her undoing. Specialism, now a necessity, has fragmented the specialities themselves in a way that makes the outlook hazardous. The workers lose all sense of proportion in a maze of minutiae.
William Osler
Save the fleeting minute learn gracefully to dodge the bore.
William Osler
We are all dietetic sinners only a small percent of what we eat nourishes us the balance goes to waste and loss of energy.
William Osler
The clean tongue, the clear head, and the bright eye are birthrights of each day.
William Osler
