More quotes by William Osler
There are only two sorts of doctors those who practise with their brains, and those who practise with their tongues.
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 greater the ignorance the greater the dogmatism.
William Osler
To it, more than to anything else, I owe whatever success I have had - to this power of settling down to the day's work and trying to do it to the best of one's ability, and letting the future take care of itself.
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
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
A man is sane morally at thirty, rich mentally at forty, wise spiritually at fifty-or never!

William Osler
The philosophies of one age have become the absurdities of the next, and the foolishness of yesterday has become the wisdom of tomorrow.
William Osler
No bubble is so iridescent or floats longer than that blown by the successful teacher.
William Osler
To confess ignorance is often wiser than to beat about the bush with a hypothetical diagnosis.
William Osler
In seeking absolute truth we aim at the unattainable and must be content with broken portions.
William Osler
The clean tongue, the clear head, and the bright eye are birthrights of each day.
William Osler
Laughter is the music of life.
William Osler
Patients should have rest, food, fresh air, and exercise - the quadrangle of health.
William Osler
Beware of people who call you 'Doc.' They rarely pay their bills.
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
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
It is much simpler to buy books than to read them and easier to read them than to absorb their contents.
William Osler
