William J. Mayo Quotations

Lord, deliver me from the man who never makes a mistake, and also from the man who makes the same mistake twice.

The aim of medicine is to prevent disease and prolong life, the ideal of medicine is to eliminate the need of a physician.

A specialist is a man who knows more and more about less and less.

Given one well-trained physician of the highest type he will do better work for a thousand people than ten specialists.
