More quotes by William Osler

William Osler

William Osler
The person who takes medicine must recover twice, once from the disease and once from the medicine.
William Osler
It is strange how the memory of a man may float to posterity on what he would have himself regarded as the most trifling of his works.
William Osler
The greater the ignorance the greater the dogmatism.
William Osler
Too many men slip early out of the habit of studious reading, and yet that is essential.
William Osler
No man is really happy or safe without a hobby.
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
The good physician treats the disease the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.
William Osler
