Be willing to commit yourself ...

Be willing to commit yourself to a course, perhaps a long and hard one, without being able to foresee exactly where you will come out.

Oliver Wendell Holmes 352 quotes

Where we stand is not as impor...

Where we stand is not as important as the direction in which we are moving.

Oliver Wendell Holmes 352 quotes

The year is getting to feel ri...

The year is getting to feel rich, for his golden fruits are ripening fast, and he has a large balance in the barns, which are his banks. The members of his family have found out that he is well to do in the world. September is dressing herself in show of dahlias and splendid marigolds and starry zinnias. October, the extravagant sister, has ordered an immense amount of the most gorgeous forest tapestry for her grand reception.

For nothing burns with such am...

For nothing burns with such amazing speed, As the dry sticks of a religious creed.

Take your needle, my child, and work at your pattern; it will come out a rose by and by. Life is like that - one stitch at a time taken patiently and the pattern will come out all right like the embroidery.

Oliver Wendell Holmes 352 quotes

Our dead brothers and sisters ...

Our dead brothers and sisters 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.

Certitude is not the test of certainty.

Any tax is a discouragement and therefore a regulation so far as it goes.

I firmly believe that if the whole material medica, as now used, could be sunk to the bottom of the sea, it would be better for mankind-and all the worse for the fishes.

Oliver Wendell Holmes 352 quotes

The mark of a civilized man is...

The mark of a civilized man is his willingness to re-examine his most cherished beliefs.

Longevity is having a chronic disease - and taking care of it.

Nothing is so commonplace has ...

Nothing is so commonplace has the wish to be remarkable.

If I had a formula for bypassi...

If I had a formula for bypassing trouble, I wouldn't pass it around. Wouldn't be doing anybody a favor. Trouble creates a capacity to handle it. I don't say embrace trouble. That's as bad as treating it as an enemy. But I do say, meet it as a friend, for you'll see a lot of it and had better be on speaking terms with it.

My right to swing my fist ends where your nose begins.

Anytime you see a Hungarian, kick him. He'll know why. Any two philosophers can tell each other all they know in two hours.

To an imagination of any scope...

To an imagination of any scope the most far reaching form of power is not money, it is the command of ideas

Oliver Wendell Holmes 352 quotes

Love is the master-key that opens the gates of happiness, of hatred, of jealousy, and, most easily of all, the gate of fear.

Life, not the parson, teaches conduct.

Oliver Wendell Holmes 352 quotes

Our morality seems to be only ...

Our morality seems to be only a check on the ultimate domination of force, just as our politeness is a check on the impulse of every pig to put his feet in the trough.

But I have long thought that if you knew a column of advertisements by heart, you could achieve unexpected felicities with them. You can get a happy quotation anywhere if you have the eye.
