More quotes by William Osler
One special advantage of the skeptical attitude of mind is that a man is never vexed to find that after all he has been in the wrong.
William Osler
The person who takes medicine must recover twice, once from the disease and once from the medicine.
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
The value of experience is not in seeing much, but in seeing wisely.
William Osler
When schemes are laid in advance, it is surprising how often the circumstances will fit in with them.
William Osler
A man is sane morally at thirty, rich mentally at forty, wise spiritually at fifty-or never!
William Osler
No man is really happy or safe without a hobby.
William Osler
Laughter is the music of life.
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
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 Scots are the backbone of Canada. They are all right in their three vital parts - head, heart and haggis.
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
To have striven, to have made the effort, to have been true to certain ideals - this alone is worth the struggle.
William Osler
Jaundice is the disease that your friends diagnose.
William Osler
Patients rarely die of the disease from which they suffer. Secondary or terminal infections are the real cause of death.
William Osler
The higher the standard of education in a profession, the less marked will be the charlatanism.
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
The great minds, the great works transcend all limitations of time, of language, and of race, and the scholar can never feel initiated into the company of the elect until he can approach all of life's problems from the cosmopolitan standpoint.
William Osler
Work is the open sesame of every portal, the great equalizer in the world, the true philosopher's stone which transmutes all the base metal of humanity into gold.
William Osler
To have a group of cloistered clinicians away completely from the broad current of professional life would be bad for teacher and worse for student. The primary work of a professor of medicine in a medical school is in the wards, teaching his pupils how to deal with patients and their diseases.
