It is not as if our homeopathic brothers are asleep: far from it, they are awake - many of them at any rate - to the importance of the scientific study of disease.

More quotes by William Osler
What is patience but an equanimity which enables you to rise superior to the trials of life.
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
What is the student but a lover courting a fickle mistress who ever eludes his grasp?
William Osler
We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from life.
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
Throw away all ambition beyond that of doing the day's work well. The travelers on the road to success live in the present, heedless of taking thought for the morrow. Live neither in the past nor in the future, but let each day's work absorb your entire energies, and satisfy your wildest ambition.
William Osler
The higher the standard of education in a profession, the less marked will be the charlatanism.
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
Look wise, say nothing, and grunt. Speech was given to conceal thought.
William Osler
Fed on the dry husks of facts, the human heart has a hidden want which science cannot supply.
William Osler
Jaundice is the disease that your friends diagnose.
William Osler
The value of experience is not in seeing much, but in seeing wisely.
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
When schemes are laid in advance, it is surprising how often the circumstances will fit in with them.
William Osler
Laughter is the music of life.
William Osler
The extraordinary development of modern science may be her undoing. Specialism, now a necessity, has fragmented the specialities themselves in a way that makes the outlook hazardous. The workers lose all sense of proportion in a maze of minutiae.
William Osler
Soap and water and common sense are the best disinfectants.
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
One of the first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take medicine.
William Osler
The higher education so much needed today is not given in the school, is not to be bought in the market place, but it has to be wrought out in each one of us for himself it is the silent influence of character on character.
William Osler
