There are three classes of human beings: men, women and women physicians.
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 good physician treats the disease the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.

William Osler
To have striven, to have made the effort, to have been true to certain ideals - this alone is worth the struggle.
William Osler
Patients should have rest, food, fresh air, and exercise - the quadrangle of health.
William Osler
Perhaps no sin so easily besets us as a sense of self-satisfied superiority to others.
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
We are constantly misled by the ease with which our minds fall into the ruts of one or two experiences
William Osler
Now the way of life that I preach is a habit to be acquired gradually by long and steady repetition. It is the practice of living for the day only, and for the day's work.
William Osler
But whatever you do, take neither yourselves nor your fellow-creatures too seriously.

William Osler
