[The Complete PG Works of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.]@TWC D-Link bookThe Complete PG Works of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. PREFACE TO THE NEW EDITION 154/419
The decently comfortable. 3.
The very rich, who are apt to be irreligious. 4.
The very poor, who are apt to be immoral. -- The cut nails of machine-divinity may be driven in, but they won't clinch. -- The arguments which the greatest of our schoolmen could not refute were two: the blood in men's veins, and the milk in women's breasts. -- Humility is the first of the virtues--for other people. -- Faith always implies the disbelief of a lesser fact in favor of a greater.
