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.

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.

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.

If you don't know what you want, you will probably never get it.

Oliver Wendell Holmes 352 quotes

The Indian is but a sketch in ...

The Indian is but a sketch in red crayon of a rudimental manhood. To the problem of his relation to the white race, there is one solution: extermination.

Oliver Wendell Holmes 352 quotes

The sea drowns out humanity an...

The sea drowns out humanity and time. It has no sympathy with either, for it belongs to eternity; and of that it sings its monotonous song forever and ever.

Oliver Wendell Holmes 352 quotes

Whatever comes from the brain ...

Whatever comes from the brain carries the hue of the place it came from, and whatever comes from the heart carries the heat and color of its birthplace.

Oliver Wendell Holmes 352 quotes

The best servant does his work...

The best servant does his work unseen.

Oliver Wendell Holmes 352 quotes

But the word 'right' is one ...

But the word 'right' is one of the most deceptive of pitfalls; it is so easy to slip from a qualified meaning in the premise to an unqualified one in the conclusion. Most rights are qualified.

Oliver Wendell Holmes 352 quotes

Modesty and reverence are no l...

Modesty and reverence are no less virtues of freemen than the democratic feeling which will submit neither to arrogance nor to servility.

Oliver Wendell Holmes 352 quotes

See how he throws his baited lines about,/And plays his men as anglers play their trout.

Oliver Wendell Holmes 352 quotes

Carve every word before you let it fall.

Oliver Wendell Holmes 352 quotes

What we most want to ask of ou...

What we most want to ask of our Maker is an unfolding of the divine purpose in putting human beings into conditions in which such numbers of them would be sure to go wrong.
