More quotes by William Osler
Shed, as you do your garments, your daily sins, whether of omission or commission, and you will wake a free man, with a new life.
William Osler
Even in populous districts, the practice of medicine is a lonely road which winds up-hill all the way and a man may easily go astray and never reach the Delectable Mountains unless he early finds those shepherd guides of whom Bunyan tells, Knowledge, Experience, Watchful, and Sincere.
William Osler
Soap and water and common sense are the best disinfectants.
William Osler
There are only two sorts of doctors those who practise with their brains, and those who practise with their tongues.
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 clean tongue, the clear head, and the bright eye are birthrights of each day.
William Osler
Nothing is life is more wonderful than faith.
William Osler

William Osler
Listen to your patient, he is telling you the diagnosis.
William Osler
The only way to treat the common cold is with contempt.
William Osler
He who studies medicine without books sails an uncharted sea, but he who studies medicine without patients does not go to sea at all.
William Osler
The value of experience is not in seeing much, but in seeing wisely.
William Osler
Too many men slip early out of the habit of studious reading, and yet that is essential.
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
The extraordinary development of modern science may be her undoing. Specialism, now a necessity, has fragmented the specialities themselves in a way that makes the outlook hazardous. The workers lose all sense of proportion in a maze of minutiae.
William Osler
It is strange how the memory of a man may float to posterity on what he would have himself regarded as the most trifling of his works.
William Osler
The person who takes medicine must recover twice, once from the disease and once from the medicine.
William Osler
That man can interrogate as well as observe nature was a lesson slowly learned in his evolution.
William Osler
No human being is constituted to know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth and even the best of men must be content with fragments, with partial glimpses, never the full fruition.
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
