William Osler
Perhaps no sin so easily besets us as a sense of self-satisfied superiority to others.
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
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
There is no disease more conducive to clinical humility than aneurysm of the aorta.
William Osler
The trained nurse has become one of the great blessings of humanity, taking a place beside the physician and the priest.
