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
Variability is the law of life, and as no two faces are the same, so no two bodies are alike, and no two individuals react alike and behave alike under the abnormal conditions which we know as disease.
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

William Osler
The successful teacher is no longer on a height, pumping knowledge at high pressure into passive receptacles.
William Osler
