“For the general practitioner a well-used library is one of the few correctives of the premature senility which is so apt to take him.”

William Osler (Canadian Physician, 1849-1919)


“There is nothing worse than an idle hour, with no occupation offering. People who have many such hours are simply animals waiting docilely for death. We all come to that state soon or late. It is the curse of senility.”
