One of the first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take medicine... Soap and water and common sense are the best disinfectants  (William Osler Quotes) Things cannot always go your way. Learn to accept in silence the minor aggravations, cultivate the gift of taciturnity and consume your own smoke with an extra draught of hard work, so that those about you may not be annoyed with the dust and soot of your complaints  (William Osler Quotes) No human being is constituted to know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth; and even the best of men must be content with fragments, with partial glimpses, never the full fruition  (William Osler Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) It is much simpler to buy books than to read them and easier to read them than to absorb their contents  (William Osler Quotes) 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 Quotes) One of the first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take medicine  (William Osler Quotes) The young physician starts life with 20 drugs for each disease, and the old physician ends life with one drug for 20 diseases  (William Osler Quotes) There are, in truth, no specialties in medicine, since to know fully many of the most important diseases a man must be familiar with their manifestations in many organs  (William Osler Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) What is the student but a lover courting a fickle mistress who ever eludes his grasp?  (William Osler Quotes) Acquire the art of detachment, the virtue of method, and the quality of thoroughness, but above all the grace of humility  (William Osler Quotes) That man can interrogate as well as observe nature was a lesson slowly learned in his evolution  (William Osler Quotes) Live neither in the past nor in the future, but let each day’s work absorb your entire energies, and satisfy your widest ambition  (William Osler Quotes) We are all dietetic sinners; only a small percent of what we eat nourishes us; the balance goes to waste and loss of energy  (William Osler Quotes) The successful teacher is no longer on a height, pumping knowledge at high pressure into passive receptacles  (William Osler Quotes) 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 Quotes) The hardest conviction to get into the mind of a beginner is that the education upon which he is engaged is not a college course, not a medical course, but a life course, for which the work of a few years under teachers is but a preparation  (William Osler Quotes) Fed on the dry husks of facts, the human heart has a hidden want which science cannot supply  (William Osler Quotes) 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 Quotes) To know just what has do be done, then to do it, comprises the whole philosophy of practical life  (William Osler Quotes) What is patience but an equanimity which enables you to rise superior to the trials of life  (William Osler Quotes) Let each hour of the day have its allotted duty, and cultivate that power of concentration which grows with its exercise  (William Osler Quotes) When schemes are laid in advance, it is surprising how often the circumstances will fit in with them  (William Osler Quotes) There are only two sorts of doctors; those who practise with their brains, and those who practise with their tongues  (William Osler Quotes) There is no more potent antidote to the corroding influence of mammon than the presence in the community of a body of men devoted to science, living for investigation and caring nothing for the lust of the eyes and the pride of life  (William Osler Quotes) 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 Quotes) Now the way of life that I preach is a habit to be acquired gradually by long and steady repetition. It is the practice of living for the day only, and for the day’s work  (William Osler Quotes)
