Personally, I do not see in Canada it would be a feasible thing if any Ministry organized taking over both the Health and the Disease of the entire community... even in the most favourable circumstances... there would be that absence of competition and that sense of independence... I do not believe it would be good for the profession or good for the Public.

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

He who studies medicine without books sails an uncharted sea, but he who studies medicine without patients does not go to sea at all.

The very first step towards success in any occupation is to become interested in it.

It is much simpler to buy books than to read them and easier to read them than to absorb their contents.

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