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
Every patient you see is a lesson in much more than the malady from which he suffers.
William Osler
Observe, record, tabulate, communicate. Use your five senses. Learn to see, learn to hear, learn to feel, learn to smell, and know that by practice alone you can become expert.
William Osler
A physician who treats himself has a fool for a patient.
William Osler
The true poetry of life: the poetry of the commonplace, of the ordinary man, of the plain, toil-worn woman, with their loves and their joys, their sorrows and their griefs.
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
Soap and water and common sense are the best disinfectants.
William Osler
To know just what has do be done, then to do it, comprises the whole philosophy of practical life.
William Osler
Look wise, say nothing, and grunt. Speech was given to conceal thought.
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.
William Osler
Perhaps no sin so easily besets us as a sense of self-satisfied superiority to others.
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
A well-trained, sensible doctor is one of the most valuable assets of a community.
William Osler
When schemes are laid in advance, it is surprising how often the circumstances will fit in with them.
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
We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from 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
There is no disease more conducive to clinical humility than aneurysm of the aorta.
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
The good physician treats the disease the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.
William Osler
Medicine is learned by the bedside and not in the classroom. Let not your conceptions of disease come from words heard in the lecture room or read from the book. See, and then reason and compare and control. But see first.
William Osler
