Additional quotes by Oliver Wendell Holmes

The real religion of the world comes from women much more than from men — from mothers most of all, who carry the key of our souls in their bosoms.

You think they are crusaders sent From some infernal clime,
To pluck the eyes of sentiment And dock the tail of Rhyme,
To crack the voice of Melody And break the legs of Time.

Pretty much all the honest truth telling in the world is done by children.
