Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. quotes
"Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle which fits them all."
"To live is to function. That is all there is in living."
"People talk fundamentals and superlatives and then make some changes of detail."
"The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we are, but in which direction we are moving."
"Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at the touch, nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening."
"A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanging, it is the skin of a living thought and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and time in which it is used."
"Nothing is so frequent as to mistake an ordinary human gift for a special and extraordinary endowment."
"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."
