More quotes by 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
A well-trained, sensible doctor is one of the most valuable assets of a community.
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
The trained nurse has become one of the great blessings of humanity, taking a place beside the physician and the priest.
William Osler
There are three classes of human beings: men, women and women physicians.
William Osler
Variability is the law of life, and as no two faces are the same, so no two bodies are alike, and no two individuals react alike and behave alike under the abnormal conditions which we know as disease.
William Osler
When schemes are laid in advance, it is surprising how often the circumstances will fit in with them.
William Osler
That man can interrogate as well as observe nature was a lesson slowly learned in his evolution.
William Osler
The young physician starts life with 20 drugs for each disease, and the old physician ends life with one drug for 20 diseases.
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

William Osler
There is no more potent antidote to the corroding influence of mammon than the presence in the community of a body of men devoted to science, living for investigation and caring nothing for the lust of the eyes and the pride of life.
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
There is no more difficult art to acquire than the art of observation, and for some men it is quite as difficult to record an observation in brief and plain language.
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
He who studies medicine without books sails an uncharted sea, but he who studies medicine without patients does not go to sea at all.
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 higher the standard of education in a profession, the less marked will be the charlatanism.
William Osler
Beware of people who call you 'Doc.' They rarely pay their bills.
William Osler
Half of us are blind, few of us feel, and we are all deaf.
William Osler
