William Osler
There are, in truth, no specialties in medicine, since to know fully many of the most important diseases a man must be familiar with their manifestations in many organs.
William Osler
Medicine is a science of uncertainty and an art of probability.
William Osler
Look wise, say nothing, and grunt. Speech was given to conceal thought.
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

William Osler
The value of experience is not in seeing much, but in seeing wisely.
William Osler

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
To know just what has do be done, then to do it, comprises the whole philosophy of practical life.
William Osler
Happiness lies in the absorption in some vocation which satisfies the soul.
William Osler
But whatever you do, take neither yourselves nor your fellow-creatures too seriously. There is tragedy enough in our daily routine, but there is room too for a keen sense of the absurdities and incongruities of life, and in the shifting panorama no one sees better than the doctor the perennial sameness of men’s ways.
William Osler
I desire no other epitaph - no hurry about it, I may say - than the statement that I taught medical students in the wards, as I regard this as by far the most useful and important work I have been called upon to do.
William Osler
Listen to your patient, he is telling you the diagnosis.
