The philosophies of one age have become the absurdities of the next, and the foolishness of yesterday has become the wisdom of tomorrow.
William Osler
Image
The successful teacher is no longer on a height, pumping knowledge at high pressure into passive receptacles.
William Osler
Image
The natural man has only two primal passions, to get and beget.
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.
