Additional quotes by Oliver Wendell Holmes

To obtain a man's opinion of you, make him mad.

Put not your trust in money, but put your money in trust.

Fame is the scentless sunflower, with gaudy crown of gold;
But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

The sound of a kiss is not so loud as that of a cannon, but its echo lasts a deal longer. - Oliver Wendell Holmes
