Additional quotes by Oliver Wendell Holmes

Faith loves to lean on time's destroying arm,
And age, like distance, lends a double charm.

Love is the master-key that opens the gates of happiness, of hatred, of jealousy, and, most easily of all, the gate of fear.

Have faith and pursue the unknown end.
