“One of the first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take medicine”

- 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. Often the best part of your work will have nothing to do with potions and powders, but with the exercise of an influence of the strong upon the weak, of the righteous upon the wicked, of the wise upon the foolish.”

- William Osler

 

“Medicine is learned by the bedside and not in the classroom. Let not your conceptions of disease come from words heard in the lecture room or read from the book. See, and then reason and compare and control. But see first.”

- William Osler

 

“Here's the advice Sir William Osler gave the students at Yale: "Live neither in the past nor in the future, but let each day absorb all your interest, energy and enthusiasm. The best preparation for tomorrow is to live today superbly well."”

The effective, moving, vitalizing work of the world is done between the ages of twenty-five and forty.”

- 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

 

“Avoid wine and women -- choose a freckly-faced girl for a wife; they are invariably more amiable.”

- William Osler

 

“To confess ignorance is often wiser than to beat about the bush with a hypothetical diagnosis.”

- William Osler

 

“Taking a lady's hand gives her confidence in her physician.”

- William Osler

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.

- Helen Keller
