More quotes by William Osler
We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from life.
William Osler
What is patience but an equanimity which enables you to rise superior to the trials of life.
William Osler
Few diseases present greater difficulties in the way of diagnosis than malignant endocarditis, difficulties which in many cases are practi- cally insurmountable. It is no disparagement to the many skilled physicians who have put their cases upon record to say that, in fully one-half the diagnosis was made post mortem.
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
Too many men slip early out of the habit of studious reading, and yet that is essential.
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
It cannot be too often or too forcibly brought home to us that the hope of the profession is with the men who do its daily work in general practice.
William Osler
Now of the difficulties bound up with the public in which we doctors work, I hesitate to speak in a mixed audience. Common sense in matters medical is rare, and is usually in inverse ratio to the degree of education.
William Osler
The very first step towards success in any occupation is to become interested in it.
William Osler
Taking a lady's hand gives her confidence in her physician.
William Osler
Shed, as you do your garments, your daily sins, whether of omission or commission, and you will wake a free man, with a new life.
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 successful teacher is no longer on a height, pumping knowledge at high pressure into passive receptacles.
William Osler
The very first step toward success in any occupation is to become interested in it. Locke put this in a very happy way when he said, give a pupil a relish of knowledge and you put life into his work.
William Osler
Patients rarely die of the disease from which they suffer. Secondary or terminal infections are the real cause of death.
William Osler
Half of us are blind, few of us feel, and we are all deaf.
William Osler
We doctors have always been a simple trusting folk. Did we not believe Galen implicitly for 1500 years and Hippocrates for more than 2000?
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
The trained nurse has become one of the great blessings of humanity, taking a place beside the physician and the priest.
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
