America is the only place where man is full-grown!

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr 167 quotes

Every event that a man would ...

Every event that a man would master must be mounted on the run, and no man ever caught the reins of a thought except as it galloped past him.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr 167 quotes

The man who is always worryin...

The man who is always worrying about whether or not his soul would be damned generally has a soul that isn't worth a damn.

Chicago sounds rough to the maker of verse. One comfort we have - Cincinnati sounds worse.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr 167 quotes

People who honestly mean to be true really contradict themselves much more rarely than those who try to be 'consistent'.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr 167 quotes

Every real thought on every r...

Every real thought on every real subject knocks the wind out of somebody or other.

Why can't somebody give us a list of things that everybody thinks and nobody says, and another list of things that everybody says and nobody thinks?

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr 167 quotes

The world's great men have no...

The world's great men have not commonly been great scholars, nor its great scholars great men.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr 167 quotes

Fame usually comes to those w...

Fame usually comes to those who are thinking about something else - very rarely to those who say to themselves, 'Go to, now, let us be a celebrated individual!'.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr 167 quotes

A thought is often original, ...

A thought is often original, though you have uttered it a hundred times.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr 167 quotes

Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul, As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low-vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, Till thou at length art free, Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting sea!

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr 167 quotes

We are all tattooed in our cr...

We are all tattooed in our cradles with the beliefs of our tribe; the record may seem superficial, but it is indelible. You cannot educate a man wholly out of the superstitious fears which were early implanted in his imagination; no matter how utterly his reason may reject them...

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr 167 quotes

As we grow older we think mor...

As we grow older we think more and more of old persons and of old things and places. As to old persons, it seems as if we never know how much they have to tell until we are old ourselves and they have been gone twenty or thirty years. Once in a while we come upon some survivor of his or her generation that we have overlooked, and feel as if we had recovered one of the lost books of Livy or fished up the golden candlestick from the ooze of the Tiber.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr 167 quotes

When men have realized that t...

When men have realized that time has upset many fighting faiths, they may come to believe... that the ultimate good desired is better reached by free trade in ideas-- that the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market, and that truth is the only ground upon which their wishes safely can be carried out. That at any rate is the theory of our Constitution. It is an experiment. As all life is an experiment. Every year if not every day we wager our salvation upon some prophecy based upon imperfect knowledge.

I would never use a long word...

I would never use a long word, even, where a short one would answer the purpose.

Man has his will, but woman has her way.

Don't be 'consistent', but be simply true.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr 167 quotes

The books we read should be chosen with great care, that they may be, as an Egyptian king wrote over his library,'The medicines of the soul.

Even a dog knows the difference between being kicked and being stumbled over.

Young man, the secret of my success is that an early age I discovered that I was not God.
