Oliver Wendell Holmes
-
Have the courage to act instead of react.
-
A pun does not commonly justify a blow in return. But if a blow were given for such cause, and death ensued, the jury would be judges both of the facts and of the pun, and might, if the latter were of an aggravated character, return a verdict of justifiable homicide.
-
The main part of intellectual education is not the acquisition of facts but learning how to make facts live.
-
It's faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes a life worth living.
-
If I were dying my last words would be: Have faith and pursue the unknown end.
