More quotes by William Osler
To confess ignorance is often wiser than to beat about the bush with a hypothetical diagnosis.
William Osler
A physician who treats himself has a fool for a patient.
William Osler
The natural man has only two primal passions, to get and beget.
William Osler
Save the fleeting minute learn gracefully to dodge the bore.
William Osler
It is much more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease than what sort of a disease a patient has.
William Osler
Listen to your patient, he is telling you the diagnosis.
William Osler
Beware of people who call you 'Doc.' They rarely pay their bills.
William Osler

William Osler
Even in populous districts, the practice of medicine is a lonely road which winds up-hill all the way and a man may easily go astray and never reach the Delectable Mountains unless he early finds those shepherd guides of whom Bunyan tells, Knowledge, Experience, Watchful, and Sincere.
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
No dreams, no visions, no delicious fantasies, no castles in the air, with which, as the old song so truly says, hearts are broken, heads are turned.
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
Think not of the amount to be accomplished, the difficulties to be overcome, or the end to be attained, but set earnestly at the little task at your elbow, letting that be sufficient for the day.
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
Let each hour of the day have its allotted duty, and cultivate that power of concentration which grows with its exercise.
William Osler
Nature, the great Moloch, which exacts a frightful tax of human blood, sparing neither young nor old taking the child from the cradle, the mother from her babe, and the father from the family.
William Osler
Shut out all of your past except that which will help you weather your tomorrows.
William Osler
The most essential thing for happiness is the gift of friendship.
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
It is not the delicate neurotic person who is prone to angina, but the robust, the vigorous in mind and body, the keen and ambitious man, the indicator of whose engines is always at full speed ahead.
William Osler
