More quotes by William Osler
Care more for the individual patient than for the special features of the disease. . . . Put yourself in his place . . . The kindly word, the cheerful greeting, the sympathetic look - these the patient understands.
William Osler
It is not... That some people do not know what to do with truth when it is offered to them, But the tragic fate is to reach, after patient search, a condition of mind-blindness, in which. The truth is not recognized, though it stares you in the face.
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
The great minds, the great works transcend all limitations of time, of language, and of race, and the scholar can never feel initiated into the company of the elect until he can approach all of life's problems from the cosmopolitan standpoint.
William Osler
It is not as if our homeopathic brothers are asleep: far from it, they are awake - many of them at any rate - to the importance of the scientific study of disease.
William Osler
The good physician treats the disease the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.
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
One of the first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take medicine.
William Osler
Throw away all ambition beyond that of doing the day's work well. The travelers on the road to success live in the present, heedless of taking thought for the morrow. Live neither in the past nor in the future, but let each day's work absorb your entire energies, and satisfy your wildest ambition.
William Osler
The higher the standard of education in a profession, the less marked will be the charlatanism.
William Osler
There are only two sorts of doctors those who practise with their brains, and those who practise with their tongues.
William Osler
Courage and cheerfulness will not only carry you over the rough places in life, but will enable you to bring comfort and help to the weak-hearted and will console you in the sad hours.
William Osler
If it were not for the great variability among individuals, medicine might as well be a science, not an art.
William Osler
Advice is sought to confirm a position already taken.
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
We are constantly misled by the ease with which our minds fall into the ruts of one or two experiences
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
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 Scots are the backbone of Canada. They are all right in their three vital parts - head, heart and haggis.
William Osler
Gentlemen, I have a confession to make. Half of what we have taught you is in error, and furthermore we cannot tell you which half it is
