No Man Is Really Happy Or Safe

When Schemes Are Laid In Advance, It Is Surprising How Often The Circumstances Will Fit In With Them.

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.

Courage And Cheerfulness Will Not Only Carry You Over The Rough Places In Life, But Will Enable You To Bring Comfort And Help To The Weak-hearted And Will Console You In The Sad Hours.

Live Neither In The Past Nor In The Future, But Let Each Day's Work Absorb Your Entire Energies, And Satisfy Your Widest Ambition.

Things Cannot Always Go Your Way. Learn To Accept In Silence The Minor Aggravations, Cultivate The Gift Of Taciturnity And Consume Your Own Smoke With An Extra Draught Of Hard Work, So That Those About You May Not Be Annoyed With The Dust And Soot Of Your Complaints.
