William Osler

Sir William Osler, 1st Baronet (July 12, 1849 – December 29, 1919) was a Canadian physician. He has been called one of the greatest icons of modern medicine.

Quotes

 * Common sense in matters medical is rare, and is usually in inverse ratio to the degree of education.
 * "Teaching and Thinking" in The Montreal Medical Journal (1895).

 * The trained nurse has become one of the great blessings of humanity, taking a place beside the physician and the priest, and not inferior to either in her mission.
 * Address at Johns Hopkins Hospital (1897); later published in Aequanimitas, and Other Addresses (1905).

 * When schemes are laid in advance, it is surprising how often the circumstances fit in with them.
 * "Internal Medicine as a Vocation" Address to the New York Academy of Medicine (1897); later published in Aequanimitas, and Other Addresses (1905).

 * We can only instill principles, put the student in the right path, give him method, teach him how to study, and early to discern between essentials and non-essentials.
 * "After Twenty Five Years", an address at McGill College, Montreal (1899); later published in Aequanimitas : With other Addresses to Medical Students, Nurses and Practitioners of Medicine (1910), p. 210.

 * 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.
 * "Books and Men" in Boston Medical and Surgical Journal (1901).

 * I have had three personal ideals: One to do the day's work well and not to bother about tomorrow. You may say that is not a satisfactory ideal. It is; and there is not one which the student can carry with him into practice with greater effect. To it more than 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 well to the best of my ability, and letting the future take care of itself. The second ideal has been to act the Golden Rule, as far as in me lay, toward my professional brethren and toward the patients committed to my care. And the third has been to cultivate such a measure of equanimity as would enable me to bear success with humility, the affection of my friends without pride, and to be ready when the day of sorrow and grief came, to meet it with the courage befitting a man. What the future has in store for me, I cannot tell — you cannot tell. Nor do I care much, so long as I carry with me, as I shall, the memory of the past you have given me. Nothing can take that away.
 * Remarks at a farewell dinner address in New York (20 May 1905), later published in Aequanimitas, and Other Addresses (1910 edition), p. 473.

 * 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.
 * "The Student Life" in The Medical News (30 September 1905).

 * Shakespeare gets to the root of the alcohol question in his well-known statement—'Good wine is a good, familiar creature if it be well used.'
 * Alcohol in St. Elizabeth Parish Magazine (1905). As quoted in Counsels and ideals from the writings of William Osler (1921, 2nd edition)

 * The best preparation for tomorrow is to do today's work superbly well.
 * As quoted in Lifetime Speaker's Encyclopedia (1962) by Jacob Morton Braude, p. 575.

 * In the history of medicine, there are few instances in which a disease has been more accurately, more graphically or more briefly described.
 * In reference to "On Chorea" (1872) by George Huntington on what is now known as Huntington's Disease, as quoted in "Huntington's Chorea" by Irwin A. Brody and Robert H. Wilkins in Archives of Neurology Vol. 17, No. 3 (1967). The acclaim Huntington received for this paper, his first, from Osler and others, he would later refer to as an "unsought, unlooked for honor."

 * There are three classes of human beings: men, women and women physicians.
 * As quoted in Women in Medicine (1968) by Carol Lopate and Josiah Macy, Jr., p. 178.

 * Far too large a section of the treatment of disease is to-day controlled by the big manufacturing pharmacists, who have enslaved us in a plausible pseudo-science.
 * The Treatment of Disease Can Lancet 1909;42:899-912, As quoted in The Quotable Osler, ACP Press, 2008

 * One special advantage of the skeptical attitude of mind is that a man is never vexed to find that after all he has been in the wrong.
 * The Treatment of Disease Can Lancet 1909;42:899-912.

Aequanimitas (1889)

 * Aequanimitas : Valedictory Address, University of Pennsylvania, (1 May 1889)

 * In a true and perfect form, imperturbability is indissolubly associated with wide experience and an intimate knowledge of the varied aspects of disease. With such advantages he is so equipped that no eventuality can disturb the mental equilibrium of the physician; the possibilities are always manifest, and the course of action clear. From its very nature this precious quality is liable to be misinterpreted, and the general accusation of hardness, so often brought against the profession, has here its foundation. Now a certain measure of insensibility is not only an advantage, but a positive necessity in the exercise of a calm judgment, and in carrying out delicate operations. Keen sensibility is doubtless a virtue of high order, when it does not interfere with steadiness of hand or coolness of nerve; but for the practitioner in his working-day world, a callousness which thinks only of the good to be effected, and goes ahead regardless of smaller considerations, is the preferable quality. Cultivate, then, gentlemen, such a judicious measure of obtuseness as will enable you to meet the exigencies of practice with firmness and courage, without, at the same time, hardening "the human heart by which we live."

 * Let me recall to your minds an incident related of that best of men and wisest of rulers, Antoninus Pius, who, as he lay dying, in his home at Loriam in Etruria, summed up the philosophy of life in the watchword, Aequanimitas. … Natural temperament has much to do with its development, but a clear knowledge of our relation to our fellow-creatures and to the work of life is also indispensable. One of the first essentials in securing a good-natured equanimity is not to expect too much of the people amongst whom you dwell.

Chauvinism in Medicine (1902)

 * | Address to the Canadian Medical Association, Montreal (17 September 1902); published in The Montreal Medical Journal Vol. XXXI (1902)

 * The critical sense and sceptical attitude of the Hippocratic school laid the foundations of modern medicine on broad lines, and we owe to it: first, the emancipation of medicine from the shackles of priestcraft and of caste; secondly, the conception of medicine as an art based on accurate observation, and as a science, an integral part of the science of man and of nature; thirdly, the high moral ideals, expressed in that most "memorable of human documents" (Gomperz), the Hippocratic oath; and fourthly, the conception and realization of medicine as the profession of a cultivated gentleman.

 * We may indeed be justly proud of our apostolic succession. Schools and systems have flourished and gone, schools which have swayed for generations the thought of our guild, and systems that have died before their founders; the philosophies of one age have become the absurdities of the next, and the foolishness of yesterday has become the wisdom of to-morrow; through long ages which were slowly learning what we are hurrying to forget — amid all the changes and chances of twenty-five centuries, the profession has never lacked men who have lived up to these Greek ideals.

 * There seems to be no limit to the possibilities of scientific medicine, and while philanthropists are turning to it as to the hope of humanity, philosophers see, as in some far-off vision, a science from which may come in the prophetic words of the Son of Sirach, "Peace over all the earth."

 * Nationalism has been the great curse of humanity. In no other shape has the Demon of Ignorance assumed more hideous proportions; to no other obsession do we yield ourselves more readily. For whom do the hosannas ring higher than for the successful butcher of tens of thousands of poor fellows who have been made to pass through the fire to this Moloch of nationalism ? A vice of the blood, of the plasm rather, it runs riot in the race, and rages today as of yore in spite of the precepts of religion and the practice of democracy. Nor is there any hope of change; the pulpit is dumb, the press fans the flames, literature panders to it and the people love to have it so. Not that all aspects of nationalism are bad. Breathes there a man with soul so dead that it does not glow at the thought of what the men of his blood have done and suffered to make his country what it is ? There is room, plenty of room, for proper pride of land and birth. What I inveigh against is a cursed spirit of intolerance, conceived in distrust and bred in ignorance, that makes the mental attitude perennially antagonistic, even bitterly antagonistic to everything foreign, that subordinates everywhere the race to the nation, forgetting the higher claims of human brotherhood.

 * The greater the ignorance the greater the dogmatism.

On the Educational Value of the Medical Society (1903)

 * Address to the New Haven Medical Association (6 January 1903), published as | "On the Educational Value of the Medical Society" in Yale Medical Journal, Vol. IX, No. 10 (April 1903), p. 325

 * 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.

 * Surrounded by people who demand certainty, — and not philosopher enough to agree with Locke that "Probability supplies the defect of our knowledge and guides us when that fails, and is always conversant about things of which we have no certainty," the practitioner too often gets into a habit of mind which resents the thought that opinion, not full knowledge, must be his stay and prop. There is no discredit, though there is at times much discomfort, in this everlasting perhaps with which we have to preface so much connected with the practice of our art. It is, as I said, inherent in the subject.

 * 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.

The Master-Word In Medicine (1903)

 * |An address to medical students on the occasion of the opening of the new buildings of the medical faculty of the University of Toronto, Oct. 1, 1903 (1903) Montreal Medical Journal''

 * Though a little one, the master-word looms large in meaning. It is the open sesame to every portal, the great equalizer in the world, the true philosopher's stone, which transmutes all the base metal of humanity into gold. The stupid man among you it will make bright, the bright man brilliant, and the, brilliant student steady. With the magic word in your heart all things are possible, and without it all study is vanity and vexation. The miracles of life are with it; the blind see by touch, the deaf hear with eyes, the dumb speak with fingers. To the youth it brings hope, to the middle-aged confidence, to the aged repose. True balm of hurt minds, in its presence the heart of the sorrowful is lightened and consoled. It is directly responsible for all advances in medicine during the past twenty-five centuries. Laying hold upon it Hippocrates made observation and science the warp and woof of our art. Galen so read its meaning that fifteen centuries stopped thinking, and slept until awakened by the De Fabrica, of Vesalius, which is the very incarnation of the master-word. With its inspiration Harvey gave an impulse to a larger circulation than he wot of, an impulse which we feel to-day. Hunter sounded all its heights and depths, and stands out in our history as one of the great exemplars of its virtues With it Virchow smote the rock, and the waters of progress gushed out while in the hands of Pasteur it proved a very talisman to open to us a new heaven in medicine and a new earth in surgery. Not only has it been the touchstone of progress, but it is the measure of success in every-day life. Not a man before you but is beholden to it for his position here, while he who addresses you has that honor directly in consequence of having had it graven on his heart when he was as you are to-day. And the master-word is Work, a little one, as I have said, but fraught with momentous sequences if you can but write it on the tablets of your hearts and bind it upon your foreheads. But there is a serious difficulty in getting you to understand the paramount importance of the work-habit as part of your organization. You are not far from the Tom Sawyer stage with its philosophy "that work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do, and that play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do." A great many hard things may be said of the work-habit. For most of us it means a hard battle; the few take to it naturally; the many prefer idleness and never learn to love labor.

 * Every one of you will have to face the ordeal of every student in this generation who sooner or later tries to mix the waters of science with the oil of faith. You can have a good deal of both if you only keep them separate. The worry comes from the attempt at mixture.

Science and Immortality (1904)

 * |Science and Immortality (1904) by William Osler

 * The search of science for the spirits has been neither long nor earnest; nor is it a matter of surprise that it has not been undertaken earlier by men whose training had fitted them for the work. It is no clear, vasty deep, but a muddy, Acheronian pool in which our modern spirits dwell, with Circe as the presiding deity and the Witch of Endor as her high priestess. Commingling with the solemn incantations of the devotees who throng the banks, one can hear the mocking laughter of Puck and of Ariel, as they play among the sedges and sing the monotonous refrain, "What fools these mortals be!" Sadly besmirched, and more fitted for a sojourn in Ancyra than in Athens, has been the condition of those who have returned from the quest, and we cannot wonder that scientific men have hesitated to stir the pool and risk a touch from Circe's wand. All the more honour to those who have with honest effort striven to pierce the veil and explore the mysteries which lie behind it.

 * Though his philosophy finds nothing to support it, at least from the standpoint of Terence the scientific student should be ready to acknowledge the value of a belief in a hereafter as an asset in human life. In the presence of so many mysteries which have been unveiled, in the presence of so many yet unsolved, he cannot be dogmatic and deny the possibility of a future state; and however distressing such a negative attitude of mind to the Teresian, like Pyrrho, he will ask to be left, reserving his judgement, but still inquiring. He will recognize that amid the turbid ebb and flow of human misery, a belief in the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come is the rock of safety to which many of the noblest of his fellows have clung; he will gratefully accept the incalculable comfort of such a belief to those sorrowing for precious friends hid in death's dateless night; he will acknowledge with gratitude and reverence the service to humanity of the great souls who have departed this life in a sure and certain hope but this is all. Whether across death's threshold we step from life to life, or whether we go whence we shall not return, even to the land of darkness, as darkness itself, he cannot tell.

The Faith that Heals (1910)

 * |The Faith That Heals (18 June 1910) British Medical Journal p. 1470

 * 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. Intangible as the ether, ineluctable as gravitation, the radium of the moral and mental spheres, mysterious, indefinable, known only by its effects, faith pours out an unfailing stream of energy while abating nor jot nor tittle of its potency. Well indeed did St. Paul break out into the well-known glorious panegyric, but even this scarcely does justice to the Hertha of the psychical world, distributing force as from a great storage battery without money and without price to the children of men. Three of its relations concern us here. The most active manifestations are in the countless affiliations which man in his evolution has worked out with the unseen, with the invisible powers, whether of light or of darkness, to which from time immemorial he has erected altars and shrines. To each one of the religions, past or present, faith has been the Jacob's ladder. Creeds pass, an inexhaustible supply of faith remains, with which man proceeds to rebuild temples, churches, chapels and shrines.

 * A man must have faith in himself to be of any use in the world. There may be very little on which to base it — no matter, but faith in one's powers, in one's mission is essential to success. Confidence once won, the rest follows naturally; and with strong faith in himself a man becomes a local center for its radiation. St. Francis, St. Theresa, Ignatius Loyola, Florence Nightingale, the originator of every cult or sect or profession has possessed this infective faith. And in the ordinary everyday work of the doctor confidence, assurance (in the proper sense of the word) is an asset without which it is very difficult to succeed.

 * Faith is indeed one of the miracles of human nature which science is as ready to accept as it is to study its marvellous effects. When we realise what a vast asset it has been in history, the part which it has played in the healing art seems insignificant, and yet there is no department of knowledge more favourable to an impartial study of its effects, and this brings me to my subject — the faith that heals.

 * Literature is full of examples of remarkable cures through the influence of the imagination, which is only an active phase of faith.

 * While in general use for centuries, one good result of the recent development of mental healing has been to call attention to its great value as a measure to be carefully and scientifically applied in suitable cases. My experience has been that of the unconscious rather than the deliberate faith healer. Phenomenal, even what could be called miraculous, cures are not very uncommon. Like others, I have had cases any one of which, under suitable conditions, could have been worthy of a shrine or made the gem of a pilgrimage.

The Life of Sir William Osler (1925)

 * Quotes of Osler from |The Life of Sir William Osler (1925) by Harvey Cushing

 * We are here to add what we can to, not to get what we can from, Life.
 * Vol. I, ch. 14.

 * Humanity has but three great enemies: fever, famine, and war; of these by far the greatest, by far the most terrible, is fever.
 * Vol. I, ch. 14.

 * Take the sum of human achievement in action, in science, in art, in literature—subtract the work of the men above forty, and while we should miss great treasures, even priceless treasures, we would practically be where we are today … The effective, moving, vitalizing work of the world is done between the ages of twenty-five and forty.
 * Vol. I, Ch. 24 : "The Fixed Period'".

 * My second fixed idea is the uselessness of men above sixty years of age, and the incalculable benefit it would be in commercial, political, and in professional life, if as a matter of course, men stopped work at this age.
 * Vol. I, Ch. 24 : "The Fixed Period".

 * The desire to take medicine is perhaps the greatest feature which distinguishes man from animals.
 * Vol. II, p. 342.

I can't find any evidence that the person being referenced by this article really exists; there's no corresponding Wikipedia article, and a Google search turns up a singer, an author who edited a book published nearly 10 years after the death of this page's person, a physician in Boston, a college named for an justice, and a (living) computer science professor. Additionally, none of the quotes turn up any non-Wikiquote results in a search. —LrdChaos 18:15, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Stephen Fry

I am certain "the Ode most travelled" interview reference is a mistake. He wrote "the ode less travelled".

"An original idea. That can't be too hard. The library must be full of them. " is listed twice.
 * I've removed the second instance of the quote from the article. In the future, you can go ahead and make such edits yourself, even if you don't register for an account. —LrdChaos 03:13, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Unsourced

 * How can one not be fond of something that the Daily Mail despises?

 * Beyond question, the north Norfolk coastline is the place where I feel happiest in the world: from Dersingham to Blakeney is just superb. It's the beaches, the tide, the skies, the birds and the fishermen, the people who live and work there. It's in danger of becoming Notting Hill-by-the-sea, it's so desirable.

 * Christmas to a child is the first terrible proof that to travel hopefully is better than to arrive.

 * I spent a long time in the school library listening to [music], but I was always frustrated that I never seemed to be able to really get inside the music. I used to conduct as I listened. Wildly. Some children did air guitar... I did air baton. There's a piano in my house, and I play when no one's around - but as soon as anyone listens, my confidence goes and I lose my sense of rhythm.

 * I think animal testing is cruel. They might get nervous and give silly answers. (From an episode of A Bit of Fry and Laurie)

 * "I was asked to be on that Grumpy Old Men programme and I refused because I said, 'If I go on, I will be grumpy about grumpy old men.' I think there's nothing more pathetic than people moaning about mobile phones."

 * Many people would no more think of entering journalism than the sewage business - which at least does us all some good.

 * Oh, I love TV. I've got cable with all the bells and whistles. Sunday nights are perfect for sinking into a Foyle's War or a Midsomer Murders.

 * The day I stop learning is the day it all goes wrong and I start twitching my middle-class curtains, glaring at strangers and shopping for lawn mowers.

 * There is so much we can learn from TV. It's a window on the world.

 * They're rather stout, and dignified, and slightly raffish, and a little bit rumpled and slightly annoyed at things.
 * On why the Brits love Winnie the Pooh and Paddington Bear.

 * When you've seen a nude infant doing a backward somersault you know why clothing exists.

 * Religion - Shit it. (From an episode of Q.I)

 * Sometimes there just isn't enough vomit in the world.. (Once on Have I Got News For You and once on Q.I.)

 * Lots of actors don't do their best stuff until they're over forty. Look at...that Hugh fellow, you know, the one from House.(referring to his Fry & Laurie co-star Hugh Laurie)

 * We've all got 3 minutes to live! What would you do? I know what I'd do- I'd have a peanut butter sandwich! (Stephen Fry in America)

Pithy quotes of a thousand words?
This article features inter alia quotes of 265, 316, 334, 513, 701, and 1073 words. (Counted by machine, of course.) The Wikiquote guidelines (WQ:LOQ) say: "Inappropriately lengthy quotes will be trimmed or discarded, with a maximum of 250 words per quote, absent a consensus that exceptional circumstances exist (such as Abraham Lincoln's 272 word Gettysburg Address)." With all due respect, Mr. Fry appears to lack Lincoln's gift for concise expression, and I suspect none of these offerings have yet appeared in a history book, so I ask the enthusiasts for this man's work to find the topic or summarizing sentence for each of these efforts and trim this thing back to something that meets the purposes of Wikiquote. I placed the copyright notice too, since some of these excerpts are longer than many an opinion column in print or online. —Blanchette (talk) 07:35, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Jaco Pastorius

Jaco Pastorius (December 1, 1951 – September 21, 1987) was a jazz bassist and composer remembered for his style and technique on fretless bass.

Quotes

 * I had an upright — it took me years and years to get enough bread to get it... I'm from Florida, so one morning I woke up, go in the corner and the bass is in a hundred pieces, cause the humidity is so bad, I mean, the upright just blew up. I said forget it, man, I can't afford this any more. So I went out, got a knife and took all the frets out of my Fender. That was it.
 * Quoted in Michele Norris, "Jaco Pastorius: 20 Years Later," NPR: All Things Considered (September 21, 2007)

Modern Electric Bass, Jaco Pastorius (1985)

 * Give me a gig!

 * I was playing drums, and I had broken my wrist very bad playing football, and the bass player in the band... he wanted to split. So I just went to the bass; I went from Drums over to Bass. That was it. I was playing the bass within a week.
 * On how he switched from drums to bass

 * I took the frets out of my bass after I was getting into jazz a lot and I wanted to have that upright sound.
 * On why he played a fretless bass

 * I never practiced a fretless ever, because the strings eat the neck up. So I would only play it on gigs.

Hi. I noticed you pointed out a mistake in the Stephen Fry page on its talk page. In the future, if you see a mistake like that, you can go ahead and make the change to the actual page. You don't have to register for an account to do so, though it's recommended if you plan to contribute often. Thanks! —LrdChaos 03:14, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Alicia. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Alicia~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Ivan Petrovich Pavlov (Russian: Иван Петрович Павлов) (September 14, 1849 – February 27, 1936) was a Russian physiologist, psychologist, and physician. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1904 for research pertaining to the digestive system. Pavlov was widely known for first describing the phenomenon now known as classical conditioning in his experiments with dogs.

Quotes

 * Perfect as is the wing of a bird, it never could raise the bird up without resting on air. Facts are the air of a scientist. Without them you never can fly. Without them your "theories" are vain efforts.
 * Bequest of Pavlov to the Academic Youth of His Country. Science, Vol. 83, Issue 2155, pg. 369 (1936)

 * The Sun-Paul must consider only one thing: what is the relation of this or that external reaction of the animal to the phenomena of the external world?
 * Scientific Study of So-Called Psychical Processes in the Higher Animals (1906).

 * Mankind will possess incalculable advantages and extraordinary control over human behavior when the scientific investigator will be able to subject his fellow men to the same external analysis he would employ for any natural object, and when the human mind will contemplate itself not from within but from without.
 * Scientific Study of So-Called Psychical Processes in the Higher Animals.

 * Learn the ABC of science before you try to ascend to its summit.
 * Bequest to the Academic Youth of Soviet Russia (1936).

 * Learn, compare, collect the facts!
 * Bequest to the Academic Youth of Soviet Russia.

 * I was, I am and will remain the Russian, the son of the Motherland. Her life first of all I will be interested in. I will live with her interests. With her’s dignity I will strengthen mine.

Quotes about Pavlov

 * It makes not a bit of difference that Pavlov was a devout physicalist who felt that a scientific treatment of conscious experience was impossible. In time-honored scientific fashion, good data outlast the orientation of the investigators who collected them.
 * Bernard J. Baars, A Cognitive Theory of Consciousness (1988).

 * Pavlov’s findings were confirmed in the most distressing manner, and on a very large scale, during the two World Wars. As the result of a single catastrophic experience, or of a succession of terrors less appalling but frequently repeated, soldiers develop a number of disabling psycho-physical symptoms. Temporary unconsciousness, extreme agitation, lethargy, functional blindness or paralysis, completely unrealistic responses to the challenge of events, strange reversals of life-long patterns of behaviour—all the symptoms, which Pavlov observed in his dogs, re-appeared among the victims of what in the First World War was called ‘shell shock’, in the Second, ‘battle fatigue’. Every man, like every dog, has his own individual limit of endurance. Most men reach their limit after about thirty days of more or less continuous stress under the conditions of modern combat. The more than averagely susceptible succumb in only fifteen days. The more than averagely tough can resist for forty-five or even fifty days. Strong or weak, in the long run all of them break down. All, that is to say, of those who are initially sane. For, ironically enough, the only people who can hold up indefinitely under the stress of modern war are psychotics. Individual insanity is immune to the consequences of collective insanity.
 * Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited (London: Chatto & Windus, 1959), Chapter 7: "Brainwashing", p. 88
