Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.Stichwörter: words dreams language thoughts
Life transforming ideas have always come to me through books.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.Some people are so heavenly minded that they are no earthly good
Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.If the wild filly, "Progress," thou wouldst ride,
Have young companions ever at thy side;
But wouldst thou stride the stanch old mare, "Success,"
Go with thine elders, though they please thee less.
Stichwörter: success young elders
Shun such as lounge through afternoons and eves,
And on thy dial write, "Beware of thieves!"
Felon of minutes, never taught to feel
The worth of treasures which thy fingers steal,
Pick my left pocket of its silver dime,
But spare the right,--it holds my golden time!
Yet in opinions look not always back,--
Your wake is nothing, mind the coming track;
Leave what you've done for what you have to do;
Don't be "consistent," but be simply true.
Stichwörter: poetry forward looking-forward
There's nothing that keeps its youth, so far as I know, but a tree and truth.
