Beware Of People Who Call You 'doc.'

The Practice Of Medicine Is An Art, Not A Trade; A Calling, Not A Business; A Calling In Which Your Heart Will Be Exercised Equally With Your Head. Often The Best Part Of Your Work Will Have Nothing To Do With Potions And Powders, But With The Exercise Of An Influence Of The Strong Upon The Weak, Of The Righteous Upon The Wicked, Of The Wise Upon The Foolish.

But Whatever You Do, Take Neither Yourselves Nor Your Fellow-creatures Too Seriously. There Is Tragedy Enough In Our Daily Routine, But There Is Room Too For A Keen Sense Of The Absurdities And Incongruities Of Life, And In The Shifting Panorama No One Sees Better Than The Doctor The Perennial Sameness Of Men’s Ways.

Too Many Men Slip Early Out Of The Habit Of Studious Reading, And Yet That Is Essential.

A Man Is Sane Morally At Thirty, Rich Mentally At Forty, Wise Spiritually At Fifty-or Never!

The Practice Of Medicine Is An Art, Not A Trade; A Calling, Not A Business; A Calling In Which Your Heart Will Be Exercised Equally With Your Head.
