Quote by Sir William Osler (1849-1919)

• The desire to take medicine is perhaps the greatest feature which distinguishes man from animals.

• Shut out all of your past except that which will help you weather your tomorrows.

• To study the phenomenon of disease without books is to sail an uncharted sea, while to study books without patients is not to go to sea at all.

• The greater the ignorance the greater the dogmatism.

• Look wise, say nothing, and grunt. Speech was given to conceal thought.

• One of the first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take medicine.
