William J. Mayo

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

“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.”

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