Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
  • Young man, the secret of my success is that an early age I discovered that I was not God.

  • A child's education should begin at least one hundred years before he is born.

  • It seems to me that at this time we need education in the obvious more than the investigation of the obscure.

  • I have no respect for the passion of equality, which seems to me merely idealizing envy.

  • A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.
