More quotes by William Osler
To it, more than to anything else, I owe whatever success I have had - to this power of settling down to the day's work and trying to do it to the best of one's ability, and letting the future take care of itself.
William Osler
For the general practitioner a well-used library is one of the few correctives of the premature senility which is so apt to take him.
William Osler
The natural man has only two primal passions, to get and beget.
William Osler
The higher the standard of education in a profession, the less marked will be the charlatanism.
William Osler
The young doctor should look about early for an avocation, a pastime, that will take him away from patients, pills, and potions.
William Osler
It is much more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease than what sort of a disease a patient has.
William Osler
Things cannot always go your way. Learn to accept in silence the minor aggravations, cultivate the gift of taciturnity and consume your own smoke with an extra draught of hard work, so that those about you may not be annoyed with the dust and soot of your complaints.
William Osler
Faith is a most precious commodity, without which we should be very badly off.
William Osler
The successful teacher is no longer on a height, pumping knowledge at high pressure into passive receptacles.
William Osler
No bubble is so iridescent or floats longer than that blown by the successful teacher.
William Osler
Observe, record, tabulate, communicate. Use your five senses. Learn to see, learn to hear, learn to feel, learn to smell, and know that by practice alone you can become expert.
William Osler
What is patience but an equanimity which enables you to rise superior to the trials of life.
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
The philosophies of one age have become the absurdities of the next, and the foolishness of yesterday has become the wisdom of tomorrow.
William Osler
Avoid wine and women - choose a freckly-faced girl for a wife they are invariably more amiable.
William Osler
Nothing is life is more wonderful than faith.
William Osler
Medicine is learned by the bedside and not in the classroom. Let not your conceptions of disease come from words heard in the lecture room or read from the book. See, and then reason and compare and control. But see first.
William Osler
Save the fleeting minute learn gracefully to dodge the bore.
William Osler
The true poetry of life: the poetry of the commonplace, of the ordinary man, of the plain, toil-worn woman, with their loves and their joys, their sorrows and their griefs.
William Osler
The very first step towards success in any occupation is to become interested in it.
William Osler
