William Osler
Gentlemen, I have a confession to make. Half of what we have taught you is in error, and furthermore we cannot tell you which half it is
William Osler
The future belongs to Science. More and more she will control the destinies of the nations. Already she has them in her crucible and on her balances.
William Osler
The good physician treats the disease the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.
William Osler

William Osler

William Osler
Courage and cheerfulness will not only carry you over the rough places in life, but will enable you to bring comfort and help to the weak-hearted and will console you in the sad hours.
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
If it were not for the great variability among individuals, medicine might as well be a science, not an art.
William Osler
To know just what has do be done, then to do it, comprises the whole philosophy of practical life.
William Osler
Shut out all of your past except that which will help you weather your tomorrows.
William Osler
The higher the standard of education in a profession, the less marked will be the charlatanism.
William Osler
What is patience but an equanimity which enables you to rise superior to the trials of life.
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
