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
In the Mortality Bills, pneumonia is an easy second, to tuberculosis indeed in many cities the death-rate is now higher and it has become, to use the phrase of Bunyan 'the captain of the men of death.'
William Osler
The higher the standard of education in a profession, the less marked will be the charlatanism.
William Osler
The good physician treats the disease the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.
William Osler
The natural man has only two primal passions, to get and beget.
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
A man is sane morally at thirty, rich mentally at forty, wise spiritually at fifty-or never!
William Osler
It is strange how the memory of a man may float to posterity on what he would have himself regarded as the most trifling of his works.
William Osler
The successful teacher is no longer on a height, pumping knowledge at high pressure into passive receptacles.
William Osler
Nothing is life is more wonderful than faith.
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
One of the first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take medicine.
William Osler
Humanity has but three great enemies: fever, famine, and war of these by far the greatest, by far the most terrible, is fever.
William Osler
The young doctor should look about early for an avocation, a pastime, that will take him away from patients, pills, and potions.
William Osler
Fed on the dry husks of facts, the human heart has a hidden want which science cannot supply.
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
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
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
The hardest conviction to get into the mind of a beginner is that the education upon which he is engaged is not a college course, not a medical course, but a life course, for which the work of a few years under teachers is but a preparation.
William Osler
No human being is constituted to know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth and even the best of men must be content with fragments, with partial glimpses, never the full fruition.
William Osler
