Abstract
The medical achievements of Sir William Osler (1849-1919), although numerous and important in his time, contribute less to his continued presence in medical literature. What remains is his literary and historical heritage, which is preserved in numerous essays and addresses. Some of his thoughts, which might be worth reading by today's busy plastic surgeons, were chosen from his writings, and they are presented here.
