Sir William Osler

“The doctor who treats himself has a fool for a patient.”

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

“The greater the ignorance the greater the dogmatism.”

“Nothing in life is more wonderful than faith - the one great moving force which we can neither weigh in the balance nor test in the crucible.”

“It is astonishing with how little reading a doctor can practice medicine, but is not astonishing how badly he may do it.”

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