More quotes by William Osler
What is the student but a lover courting a fickle mistress who ever eludes his grasp?
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
Variability is the law of life, and as no two faces are the same, so no two bodies are alike, and no two individuals react alike and behave alike under the abnormal conditions which we know as disease.
William Osler
No man is really happy or safe without a hobby.
William Osler
Shut out all of your past except that which will help you weather your tomorrows.
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
Now of the difficulties bound up with the public in which we doctors work, I hesitate to speak in a mixed audience. Common sense in matters medical is rare, and is usually in inverse ratio to the degree of education.
William Osler
Half of us are blind, few of us feel, and we are all deaf.
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
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
Nothing is life is more wonderful than faith.
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
Let each hour of the day have its allotted duty, and cultivate that power of concentration which grows with its exercise.
William Osler
Taking a lady's hand gives her confidence in her physician.
William Osler
Without faith a man can do nothing with it all things are possible.
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 clean tongue, the clear head, and the bright eye are birthrights of each day.
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
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
Start at once a bedside library and spend the last half hour of the day in communion with the saints of humanity.
William Osler
