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 hardest conviction to get into the mind of a beginner is that the education upon which he is engaged is not a college course, not a medical course, but a life course, for which the work of a few years under teachers is but a preparation.
William Osler

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
Save the fleeting minute learn gracefully to dodge the bore.
William Osler
If it were not for the great variability among individuals, medicine might as well be a science, not an art.
William Osler
The philosophies of one age have become the absurdities of the next, and the foolishness of yesterday has become the wisdom of tomorrow.
William Osler
A physician who treats himself has a fool for a patient.
William Osler
Too many men slip early out of the habit of studious reading, and yet that is essential.
William Osler
Humanity has but three great enemies: fever, famine, and war of these by far the greatest, by far the most terrible, is fever.
William Osler
The greater the ignorance the greater the dogmatism.
William Osler
There are only two sorts of doctors those who practise with their brains, and those who practise with their tongues.
William Osler
When schemes are laid in advance, it is surprising how often the circumstances will fit in with them.
William Osler
The value of experience is not in seeing much, but in seeing wisely.
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
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
