Fever, famine and war was one of William Osler's quotes.

In 1896, at the American Medical Association, Sir William Osler presented "The study of the Fevers of the the South", in which he stated "Humanity has but three great enemies: fever, famine and war; of these by far the greatest, by far the most terrible, is fever."

The quote was used by epidemiologist Michael Osterholm in his book Deadliest Enemy: Our War Against Killer Germs, published in 2017.
