William Osler
Image
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

There are only two sorts of doctors those who practise with their brains, and those who practise with their tongues.
William Osler
Image
It is much more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease than what sort of a disease a patient has.
William Osler
Image
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
Image
There are three classes of human beings: men, women and women physicians.
William Osler
Image
He who studies medicine without books sails an uncharted sea, but he who studies medicine without patients does not go to sea at all.
William Osler
Image
Patients should have rest, food, fresh air, and exercise - the quadrangle of health.
William Osler
Image
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.
