More quotes by William Osler
Be calm and strong and patient. Meet failure and disappointment with courage. Rise superior to the trials of life, and never give in to hopelessness or despair. In danger, in adversity, cling to your principles and ideals. Aequanimitas!
William Osler
Too many men slip early out of the habit of studious reading, and yet that is essential.
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
Varicose veins are the result of an improper selection of grandparents.
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 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
To it, more than to anything else, I owe whatever success I have had - to this power of settling down to the day's work and trying to do it to the best of one's ability, and letting the future take care of itself.
William Osler
Perhaps no sin so easily besets us as a sense of self-satisfied superiority to others.
William Osler
Look wise, say nothing, and grunt. Speech was given to conceal thought.
William Osler
The greater the ignorance the greater the dogmatism.
William Osler
Taking a lady's hand gives her confidence in her physician.
William Osler
Work is the open sesame of every portal, the great equalizer in the world, the true philosopher's stone which transmutes all the base metal of humanity into gold.
William Osler
What is patience but an equanimity which enables you to rise superior to the trials of life.
William Osler
The higher the standard of education in a profession, the less marked will be the charlatanism.
William Osler
The person who takes medicine must recover twice, once from the disease and once from the medicine.
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
A man is sane morally at thirty, rich mentally at forty, wise spiritually at fifty-or never!
William Osler
Let each hour of the day have its allotted duty, and cultivate that power of concentration which grows with its exercise.
William Osler
One of the first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take medicine.
William Osler
That man can interrogate as well as observe nature was a lesson slowly learned in his evolution.
William Osler
