More quotes by William Osler
Too many men slip early out of the habit of studious reading, and yet that is essential.
William Osler
One of the first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take medicine.
William Osler
We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from life.
William Osler
Think not of the amount to be accomplished, the difficulties to be overcome, or the end to be attained, but set earnestly at the little task at your elbow, letting that be sufficient for the day.
William Osler
Live neither in the past nor in the future, but let each day's work absorb your entire energies, and satisfy your widest ambition.
William Osler
The desire to take medicine is perhaps the greatest feature which distinguishes man from animals.
William Osler
I desire no other epitaph - no hurry about it, I may say - than the statement that I taught medical students in the wards, as I regard this as by far the most useful and important work I have been called upon to do.
William Osler
The very first step towards success in any occupation is to become interested in it.
William Osler
To have a group of cloistered clinicians away completely from the broad current of professional life would be bad for teacher and worse for student. The primary work of a professor of medicine in a medical school is in the wards, teaching his pupils how to deal with patients and their diseases.
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
If it were not for the great variability among individuals, medicine might as well be a science, not an art.
William Osler
The teacher's life should have three periods, study until twenty-five, investigation until forty, profession until sixty, at which age I would have him retired on a double allowance.
William Osler
The practice of medicine is an art, not a trade a calling, not a business a calling in which your heart will be exercised equally with your head.
William Osler
A physician who treats himself has a fool for a patient.
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
We doctors have always been a simple trusting folk. Did we not believe Galen implicitly for 1500 years and Hippocrates for more than 2000?
William Osler
The trained nurse has become one of the great blessings of humanity, taking a place beside the physician and the priest.
William Osler
Acquire the art of detachment, the virtue of method, and the quality of thoroughness, but above all the grace of humility.
William Osler
Listen to your patient, he is telling you the diagnosis.
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
