Don't be 'consistent' but be...

Don't be 'consistent' but be simple true.

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

Beware how you take away hope from another human being.

Between two groups of people who want to make inconsistent kinds of worlds, I see no remedy but force.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr 167 quotes

Speak not too well of one who ...

Speak not too well of one who scarce will know himself transfigured in its roseate glow; Say kindly of him what is, chiefly, true, remembering always he belongs to you; Deal with him as a truant, if you will, But claim him, keep him, call him brother still!

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr 167 quotes

A great calamity is as old as ...

A great calamity is as old as the trilobites an hour after it has happened.

The freeman, casting with unpurchased hand the vote that shakes the turrets of the land.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr 167 quotes

What a comfort a dull but kind...

What a comfort a dull but kindly person is, to be sure, at times! A ground-glass shade over a gas-lamp does not bring more solace to our dazzled eyes than such a one to our minds.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr 167 quotes

Even the wisest woman you talk...

Even the wisest woman you talk to is ignorant of something you may know, but an elegant woman never forgets her elegance.

Nature, when she invented, manufactured, and patented her authors, contrived to make critics out of the chips that were left.

In walking, the will and the muscles are so accustomed to working together and performing their task with so little expenditure of force that the intellect is left comparatively free.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr 167 quotes

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

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr 167 quotes

Our dead brothers still live f...

Our dead brothers still live for us and bid us think of life, not death -- of life to which in their youth they lent the passion and glory of Spring. As I listen, the great chorus of life and joy begins again, and amid the awful orchestra of seen and unseen powers and destinies of good and evil, our trumpets, sound once more a note of daring, hope, and will.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr 167 quotes

A few can touch the magic stri...

A few can touch the magic string, and noisy fame is proud to win them: Alas for those that never sing, but die with all their music in them!

Some people are so heavenly minded that they are no earthly good.
