  • The greater the ignorance the greater the dogmatism.

    Montreal Medical Journal Sept. 1902, p. 696
  • 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.

    Sir William Osler (1963). “Aequanimitas, and other papers that have stood the test of time. [With an introd. by Paul Dudley White]”
  • To confess ignorance is often wiser than to beat about the bush with a hypothetical diagnosis.

    Sir William Osler, Mark E. Silverman, T. J. Murray, Charles S. Bryan, American College of Physicians--American Society of Internal Medicine (2003). “The Quotable Osler”, p.102, ACP Press
