More quotes by William Osler
No bubble is so iridescent or floats longer than that blown by the successful teacher.
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
A physician who treats himself has a fool for a patient.
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
Nothing will sustain you more potently than the power to recognize in your humdrum routine, as perhaps it may be thought, the true poetry of life.
William Osler
The natural man has only two primal passions, to get and beget.
William Osler
To know just what has do be done, then to do it, comprises the whole philosophy of practical life.
William Osler
The Scots are the backbone of Canada. They are all right in their three vital parts - head, heart and haggis.
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
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
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 uselessness of men above sixty years of age and the incalculable benefit it would be in commercial, in political, and in professional life, if as a matter of course, men stopped work at this age.
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
The teacher's life should have three periods, study until twenty-five, investigation until forty, profession until sixty, at which age I would have him retired on a double allowance.
William Osler
Shut out all of your past except that which will help you weather your tomorrows.
William Osler
Fed on the dry husks of facts, the human heart has a hidden want which science cannot supply.
William Osler
There is no more difficult art to acquire than the art of observation, and for some men it is quite as difficult to record an observation in brief and plain language.
William Osler
The higher the standard of education in a profession, the less marked will be the charlatanism.
William Osler
One of the first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take medicine.
William Osler
To do today's work well and not to bother about tomorrow is the secret of accomplishment
