More quotes by William Osler
The greater the ignorance the greater the dogmatism.
William Osler
In seeking absolute truth we aim at the unattainable and must be content with broken portions.
William Osler
Patients should have rest, food, fresh air, and exercise - the quadrangle of health.
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
Be calm and strong and patient. Meet failure and disappointment with courage. Rise superior to the trials of life, and never give in to hopelessness or despair. In danger, in adversity, cling to your principles and ideals. Aequanimitas!
William Osler
There are only two sorts of doctors those who practise with their brains, and those who practise with their tongues.
William Osler
The good physician treats the disease the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.
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
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 practice of medicine is an art, not a trade a calling, not a business a calling in which your heart will be exercised equally with your head.
William Osler
Now the way of life that I preach is a habit to be acquired gradually by long and steady repetition. It is the practice of living for the day only, and for the day's work.
William Osler
The natural man has only two primal passions, to get and beget.
William Osler
Listen to your patient, he is telling you the diagnosis.
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
Avoid wine and women - choose a freckly-faced girl for a wife they are invariably more amiable.
William Osler
We doctors have always been a simple trusting folk. Did we not believe Galen implicitly for 1500 years and Hippocrates for more than 2000?
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
We are all dietetic sinners only a small percent of what we eat nourishes us the balance goes to waste and loss of energy.
William Osler
To know just what has do be done, then to do it, comprises the whole philosophy of practical life.
William Osler
Nature, the great Moloch, which exacts a frightful tax of human blood, sparing neither young nor old taking the child from the cradle, the mother from her babe, and the father from the family.
William Osler
