Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

The main part of intellectual education is not the acquisition of facts, but learning how to make facts live.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

The only prize much cared for by the powerful is power.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

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.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

The greatest act of faith is when a man understands he is not God.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
