Oliver Wendell Holmes
  • If there is any principle of the Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other it is the principle of free thought, not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate.

  • But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

  • Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

  • Don't flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. The nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become.

  • Sweet is the scene where genial friendship plays the pleasing game of interchanging praise.
