More quotes by William Osler
There are only two sorts of doctors those who practise with their brains, and those who practise with their tongues.
William Osler
By far the most dangerous foe we have to fight is apathy-indifference from whatever cause, not from a lack of knowledge, but from carelessness, from absorption in other pursuits, from a contempt bred of self satisfaction.
William Osler
We are all dietetic sinners only a small percent of what we eat nourishes us the balance goes to waste and loss of energy.
William Osler
In the Mortality Bills, pneumonia is an easy second, to tuberculosis indeed in many cities the death-rate is now higher and it has become, to use the phrase of Bunyan 'the captain of the men of death.'
William Osler

William Osler

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
Start at once a bedside library and spend the last half hour of the day in communion with the saints of humanity.
William Osler
The good physician treats the disease the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.
William Osler
The true poetry of life: the poetry of the commonplace, of the ordinary man, of the plain, toil-worn woman, with their loves and their joys, their sorrows and their griefs.
William Osler
The great majority gave no signs one way or the other like birth, their death was a sleep and a forgetting.
William Osler
The very first step towards success in any occupation is to become interested in it.
William Osler
Laughter is the music of life.
William Osler
Soap and water and common sense are the best disinfectants.
William Osler
Nothing is life is more wonderful than faith.
William Osler
The desire to take medicine is perhaps the greatest feature which distinguishes man from animals.
William Osler
Engrossed late and soon in professional cares, getting and spending, you may may so lay waste your powers that you may find, too late, with hearts given away, that t here is no place in your habit-stricken souls for those gentler influences which make your life worth living.
William Osler
