Patients should have rest, food, fresh air, and exercise - the quadrangle of health.
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

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
The natural man has only two primal passions, to get and beget.
William Osler
Image
The higher education so much needed today is not given in the school, is not to be bought in the market place, but it has to be wrought out in each one of us for himself it is the silent influence of character on character.
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
Image
There are only two sorts of doctors those who practise with their brains, and those who practise with their tongues.
William Osler
Image
No dreams, no visions, no delicious fantasies, no castles in the air, with which, as the old song so truly says, hearts are broken, heads are turned.
William Osler
Image
What is the student but a lover courting a fickle mistress who ever eludes his grasp?
William Osler
Image
It is not... That some people do not know what to do with truth when it is offered to them, But the tragic fate is to reach, after patient search, a condition of mind-blindness, in which. The truth is not recognized, though it stares you in the face.

A man is sane morally at thirty, rich mentally at forty, wise spiritually at fifty-or never!
