"Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a
distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand."
Thomas Carlyle
These twenty-one
words that a young Canadian medical student read in the spring of 1871- 21
words that helped him lead a life free from worry and helped him to become the
most famous physician of his generation. He organized the world-famous Johns
Hopkins School of Medicine.
He became Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford-the highest honor
that can be bestowed upon any medical man in the British Empire. He was knighted by the King of England. When he died, two huge volumes containing 1,466 pages
were required to tell the story of his life. That man was Sir William Osier.
