Síða 28 - You have been exposed — you always will be exposed — to the attacks of those persons who consider their own undisciplined emotions more important than the world's most bitter agonies — the people who would limit, and cripple, and hamper research because they fear research may be accompanied by a little pain and suffering.
Síða 26 - Bill for an eight hours' day for doctors? Do you know of any change in public opinion which will allow you not to attend a patient when you know that the man never means to pay you? Have you heard any outcry against...
Síða 19 - Two marshalled hosts are seen, — Two armies on the trampled shores That Death flows black between. One marches to the drum-beat's roll, The wide-mouthed clarion's bray And bears upon a crimson scroll,
Síða 16 - ... day of our jubilee is death. The devil hath therefore failed of his desires; we are happier with death than we should have been without it. There is no misery but in himself, where there is no end of misery ; and so indeed, in his own sense, the Stoic is in the right.

Síða 25 - Certainly the world will treat you on that basis. It has long ago decided that you have no working hours that anybody is bound to respect, and nothing except extreme bodily illness will excuse you in its eyes from refusing to help a man who thinks he may need your help at any hour of the day or night. Nobody will care whether you are in your bed or in your bath, on your holiday or at the theatre. If any one of the children of men has a pain or a hurt in him you will be summoned.

Síða 27 - On presentation of your visiting-card you can pass through the most turbulent crowd unmolested and even with applause. If you fly a yellow flag over a centre of population you can turn it into a desert. If you choose to fly a Red Cross flag over a desert you can turn it into a centre of population towards which, as I have seen, men will crawl on hands and knees. You can forbid any ship to enter any port in the world.
Síða 23 - I dared to take advantage of this magnificent opportunity which now is before me, I should like to talk to you all about my own symptoms. However. I have been ordered — on medical advice — not to talk about patients, but doctors. Speaking, then, as a patient, I should say that the average patient looks upon the average doctor very much as the non-combatant looks upon the troops fighting on his behalf. The more trained men there are between his body and the enemy, he thinks, the better. I have...
Síða 26 - I am sorry you have met my demonstration with a certain amount of levity. May I remind you of some of your privileges? You and kings are about the only people whose explanation the police will accept if you exceed the legal limit in your car. On presentation of your visiting card...
Síða 26 - ... go on duty at once, and that you stay on duty until your strength fails you or your conscience relieves you; whichever may be the longer period. This is your position — these are some of your obligations — and I do not think that they will grow any lighter.
