I am a graduating dental student, and as MC of our graduation I am looking for funny toasts, stories, or dentally related jokes to help spice up the evening.
I don't have any jokes but here's a couple of favorite quotations:
"Practicing to be honest is practicing to be moral, and practicing to be moral is practicing to be wise"
---Plato 1997 from a letter by Dr. Andrew Tanchyk
"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." Dr. Alber Schweitzer (from a lecture by Dr. Thomas Dawson 4-18-98)
"It is the gap between what we honestly think we are doing and what we are actually doing that is so devastating." Dr. Robert F. Barkley, D.D.S.
Successful Dental Practice, Pg. 60
"Sometimes it seems like doing a good jobe here is like wetting your pants in a dark suit: you get a warm feeling but nowbody notices."
"The sweetness of the fruits of success is directly related to the height of the branches they're on"
--William Dickerson
or put another way:
"All things excellent are as difficult as they are rare" ("Omnia praeclara tam difficilia quam rara sunt") ---Spinoza, Ethics, V. 42
"Banish the future. Live only for the hour and its alloted work. Think not of the amount to be accomplished, the difficulties to be overcome, or the end to be attained, but set earnestly at the little task at your elbow, letting that be sufficient for the day." --Sir William Osler (the father of modern cardiology)
The differnce between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, is not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will." Vince Lombardi
"Don't let the dumbest guy in town set your fees"
Dr. Bill Dickerson
"Men who are occupied in the restoration of health to other men, by the joint exertion of skill and humanity, are above all the great of the earth. They even partake of divinity, since to preserve and renew is almost as noble as to create." --Voltaire, "Physicians Philosophical Dictionary (1764)
from Editorial by Roger D. Winland, D.D.S., Ms., Magd, General Dentistry, NOv.-Dec., 1998.
