Assessing Your Achievement of Values and Life Satisfaction: Select Your Values Statements
An Excerpt From the Curriculum of the 3rd Grapevine
The hardest conviction to get into the mind of a beginner is that the education
upon which he is engaged is not a college course, not a medical course, but a life
course, for which the work of a few years under teachers is but a preparation.
- Sir William Osler
The training of the medical school gives man his direction, points him the way,
and furnishes him with a chart, fairly incomplete, for the voyage, but nothing more.
- Sir William Osler
The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists
it; and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits
recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier character.
- Albert Schweitzer
When knowledge is translated into proper action we speak of it as wisdom
- William J. Mayo
We give thanks for places of refuge and beauty. May we find such places in ourselves.
- Rachel Naomi Remen (adapted from Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, California)
Life is short, and Art long; the crisis fleeting; experience perilous, and decision
difficult. The physician must not only be prepared to do what is right himself,
but also to make the patient, the attendants, and externals cooperate.
- Hippocrates
Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise
his will - his personal responsibility in the realm of faith and morals.
- Albert Schweitzer
As perplexity of soul will be your lot and portion, accept the situation with a
good grace.
- Sir William Osler
One thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who
will have sought and found how to serve.
- Albert Schweitzer
The important thing is to make the lesson of each case tell on your education. The
value of experience is not in seeing much, but in seeing wisely.
- Sir William Osler
If there is a sixth sense, it is intuition, that instinctive summing up of memories
and other evidences collected by the special senses and correlated in man’s consciousness
- William J. Mayo
The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives.
- Albert Schweitzer
I have learned since to be a better student, and to be ready to say to my fellow
students “I do not know.”
- Sir William Osler
I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among
you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
- Albert Schweitzer
The incessant concentration of thought upon one subject, however interesting, tethers
a man’s mind in a narrow field.
- Sir William Osler
Do something wonderful, people may imitate it.
- Albert Schweitzer
In the study of some apparently new problems, we often make progress by reading
the work of the great men of the past
- Charles H. Mayo
