 There are no straight backs, no symmetrical faces, many wry noses, and no even legs. We are a crooked and perverse generation.

 There are only two sorts of doctors: those who practice with their brains, and those who practice with their tongues.

 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.

 There is a form of laughter that springs from the heart, heard every day in the merry voice of childhood, the expression of a laughter -- loving spirit that defies analysis by the philosopher, which has nothing rigid or mechanical in it, and totally without social significance. Bubbling spontaneously from the heart of child or man.

 There is no disease more conducive to clinical humility than aneurysm of the aorta.

 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.

 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 complaint.

 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.

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

 To die daily, after the manner of St. Paul, ensures the resurrection of a new man, who makes each day the epitome of life.

 To have a group of cloistered clinicians away completely from the broad current of professional life would be bad for teacher and worse for student. The primary work of a professor of medicine in a medical school is in the wards, teaching his pupils how to deal with patients and their diseases.

 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.

 To know what has to be done, then do it, comprises the whole philosophy of practical life.

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

 Too many men slip early out of the habit of studious reading, and yet that is essential.
