What I wouldn't give to be seventy again!
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
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.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
With all humility, I think, "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might." Infinitely more important than the vain attempt to love one's neighbor as one's self.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
