Now of the difficulties bound up with the public in which we doctors work, I hesitate to speak in a mixed audience. Common sense in matters medical is rare, and is usually in inverse ratio to the degree of education.

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

Even in populous districts, the practice of medicine is a lonely road which winds up-hill all the way and a man may easily go astray and never reach the Delectable Mountains unless he early finds those shepherd guides of whom Bunyan tells, Knowledge, Experience, Watchful, and Sincere.

The successful teacher is no longer on a height, pumping knowledge at high pressure into passive receptacles.

The very first step toward success in any occupation is to become interested in it. Locke put this in a very happy way when he said, give a pupil "a relish of knowledge" and you put life into his work.

The great majority gave no signs one way or the other; like birth, their death was a sleep and a forgetting.

Nothing is life is more wonderful than faith.
