# OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES

### Editor's Note

> > This is the physician and poet, not his son of the same name who was a Supreme Court Justice and famous in his own right. Very early on Dr. Holmes became my mentor and guide in the philosophy of medicine. Though his world-wide fame was based on his prose and poetry, he was an eminent leader in medicine. Many—too many years ago I would often assign Holmes' "Medical Essays" to a medical student whose sharp edges of science needed some rounding-off with a touch of humanity. I have no longer the privilege of assigning anything to anybody, yet encourage any of you, especially any who may be physicians, to read the thoughts of a family doctor of the early 1800's.

    A misprint kills a sensitive author

    Absolute, peremptory facts are bullies

    Advised every literary man to have a
    profession.

    Afraid of books who have not handled
    them from infancy

    Age and neglect united gradually

    Agreed on certain ultimata of belief

    Algebraic symbols of minds which have
    grown too weak

    All his geese are swans

    All men are bores, except when we want
    them

    All men love all women

    All the forms of moral excellence,
    except truth

    All want to reach old age and grumble
    when they get it

    And now we two are walking the long
    path in peace together

    Another privilege of talking is to
    misquote

    Arc in the movement of a large
    intellect

    As I understand truth

    As to clever people's hating each other

    As a child, he should have tumbled
    about in a library

    Asked Solon what made him dare to be so
    obstinate

    Assume a standard of judgment in our
    own minds

    At the mercy of every superior mind

    Audacious self-esteem, with good ground
    for it

    Automatic and involuntary actions of
    the mind

    Babbage's calculating machine

    Be very careful to whom you trust one
    of these keys

    Beautiful effects from wit,—all the
    prismatic colors

    Been in the same precise circumstances
    before

    Behave like men and gentlemen about it,
    if you know how.

    Beliefs are rooted in human wants and
    weakness, and die hard

    Bells which small trades-people connect
    with their shop-doors

    Better for mankind,—and all the worse
    for the fishes

    Better too few words, from the woman we
    love

    Bewitching cup of self-quackery

    Bill which will render pockets a
    superfluity in your next suit

    Blank checks of intellectual bankruptcy

    Bowing and nodding over the music

    Brain often runs away with the heart's
    best blood

    Brilliant flashes—of silence!

    Brute beasts of the intellectual domain

    Bury in it beliefs, doubts, dreams,
    hopes, and terrors

    But we must sail, and not drift, nor
    lie at anchor.

    But it was in talking of Life that we
    came most nearly together

    Called an old man for the first time

    Character is distinctly shown at the
    age of four months.

    Cigar

    Clairvoyance which sees into things
    without opening them

    Code of finalities is a necessary
    condition of profitable talk

    Cold shower-bath the world furnishes
    gratis

    Comfort is essential to enjoyment

    Commerce is just putting his granite
    foot upon them

    Common sense, as you understand it.

    Common sense was good enough for him

    Compare the racer with the trotter

    Conceit is just a natural thing to
    human minds

    Conceit has the virtue of making them
    cheerful

    Conclusion that he or she is really
    dull

    Conflicting advice of all manner of
    officious friends

    Consciousness of carrying a "settler"
    in the form of a fact

    Controversy

    Conversation which is suggestive rather
    than argumentative

    Conversational fungi spring up most
    luxuriantly

    Conversational bully

    Conversational blank checks or counters

    Conversational soprano

    Creative action is not voluntary at all

    Crippled souls

    Crow with a king-bird after him

    Cut your climate to your constitution

    Dangerous subjects

    Demand for intellectual labor is so
    enormous

    Did I believe in love at first sight?

    Didn't know Truth was such an invalid

    Differ on the fundamental principles

    Dishwater from the washings of English
    dandyism

    Disputing about remainders and
    fractions

    Do wish she would get well—or
    something

    Do you know how important good
    jockeying is to authors?

    Do you ever wonder why poets talk so
    much about flowers?

    Do not be bullied out of your common
    sense by the specialist

    Don't make your moral staple consist of
    the negative virtues

    Don't believe any man ever talked like
    that in this world

    Don't begin to pry till you have got
    the long arm on your side

    Don't ever think the poetry is dead in
    an old man

    Don't be in a hurry to choose your
    friends

    Doomed to the pangs of an undeceived
    self-estimate

    Dullest of teachers is the one who does
    not know what to omit

    Dulness is not commonly a game fish

    Earned your money by the dose you have
    taken

    Easier to dispute it than to disprove
    it

    Easier to say this than to prove it

    Educational factory

    Elysian abandonment of a huge recumbent
    chair.

    Every person's feelings have a
    front-door and a side-door

    Extra talent does sometimes make people
    jealous

    Facts always yield the place of honor,
    in conversation

    Fall silent and think they are thinking

    Few, if any, were ruined by drinking

    Flash terms for words which truly
    characterize their objects.

    Fortune is the measure of intelligence

    Fortune had left her, sorrow had
    baptized her

    Friendship authorizes you to say
    disagreeable things

    Gambling with dice or stocks

    Gambling, on the great scale, is not
    republican

    Generalize the disease and
    individualize the patient

    Generally ruined before they became
    drunkards

    Genius in an essentially common person
    is detestable

    Gift of seeing themselves in the true
    light

    Give it an intellectual shake and hold
    it up to the light

    Give us the luxuries of life

    Good for nothing until they have been
    long kept and used

    Good feeling helps society to make
    liars of most of us

    Good Americans, when they die, go to
    Paris

    Got his hand up, as a pointer lifts his
    forefoot

    Governed, not by, but according to laws

    Grave without a stone where nothing but
    a man is buried

    Great silent-moving misery puts a new
    stamp on us

    Grow we must, if we outgrow all that we
    love

    Grow old early, if you would be old
    long

    Habit is a labor-saving invention

    Habits are the crutches of old age

    Half knowledge dreads nothing but whole
    knowledge

    Half-censure divided between the
    parties

    Hard it is for some people to get out
    of a room

    He did not know so much about old age
    then as he does now

    He that has once done you a kindness

    He who is carried by horses must deal
    with rogues

    Height of art to conceal art

    Her breathing was somewhat hurried and
    high, or thoracic

    Here lies buried the soul of the
    licentiate Pedro Garcias

    Hire logic, in the shape of a lawyer

    Hold their outspread hands over your
    head

    Holes in all her pockets

    Hoped he did deserve a little abuse
    occasionally

    Hopelessly dull discourse acts
    inductively

    How long will school-keeping take to
    kill you?

    Hung with moss, looking like bearded
    Druids

    Hydrostatic paradox of controversy

    I always believed in life rather than
    in books

    I always break down when folks cry in
    my face

    I allow no "facts" at this table

    I show my thought, another his

    I tell my secrets too easily when I am
    downhearted.

    I love horses

    I think I have not been attacked enough
    for it

    I never think I have hit hard unless it
    rebounds

    I replied with my usual forbearance

    I am my own son, as it seems to me

    I had not thought love was ever meant
    for me.

    I hate books

    I have lived by the sea-shore and by
    the mountains

    I have taken all knowledge to be my
    province

    If so and so, we should have been this
    or that

    If they have run as well as they knew
    how!

    If I thought I should ever see the
    Alps!

    Il faut ne pas BRUTALISER la machine

    In what direction we are moving

    Incipit Allegoria Senectutis.

    Infinite ocean of similitudes and
    analogies

    earlier days

    Leave your friend to learn unpleasant
    truths from his enemies

    Liability of all men to be elected to
    public office

    Life would be nothing without
    paper-credit

    Life is maintained by the respiration
    of oxygen and of sentiment

    Like taking the cat in your lap after
    holding a squirrel

    subjects you have studied

    Little great man

    Little muscle which knows its
    importance

    knowledge

    reputation they might have made

    Living in a narrow world of dry habits

    Logicians carry the surveyor's chain
    over the track

    Long illness is the real vampyrism

    Look through the silvered rings of the

    tell lies about it

    Their business is not a matter of
    sympathy, but of intellect

    There is no elasticity in a
    mathematical fact

    There is a higher law in grammar, not
    to be put down

    There is almost always at least one key
    to this side-door

    Think only in single file front this
    day forward

    Think of the griefs that die unspoken!

    Third vowel as its center

    This is the shortest way,—she said

    style is the man

    appearance

    parchment

    Vulgarism of language

    Wait awhile!

    Walls of that larger Inquisition which
    we call Civilization

    Want of ideas, want of words, want of
    manners

    We die out of houses, just as we die
    out of our bodies

    We always compare ourselves with our
    contemporaries.

    We are all theological students

    We carry happiness into our condition

    We don't read what we don't like

    We never tell our secrets to people
    that pump for them.

    Wedded, faded away, threw themselves
    away

    Wedding-ring conveys a right to a key
    to this side-door

    Weeded their circle pretty well of
    these unfortunates

    What a satire, by the way, is that
    machine

    What are the great faults of
    conversation?

    Whether anything can be conscious of
    its own flavor??

    beauty or not

    for her

    Who is in advance of it or even with it

    Wholesale professional dealers in
    misfortune

    Why authors and actors are ashamed of
    being funny?

    Why did I not ask? you will say

    Will you take the long path with me?

    Winning-post a slab of white or gray
    stone

    Wit knows that his place is at the tail
    of a procession.

    Wonder how my great trees are coming on
    this summer.

    World calls him hard names, probably

    World has a million roosts for a man,
    but only one nest.

    Yes, I am a man, like another

    electronic works

    1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
    electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
    and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
    (trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
    the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
    all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
    If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
    Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
    terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
    entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.

    1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
    used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
    agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
    things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
    even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
    paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
    Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
    and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
    works.  See paragraph 1.E below.

    1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
    or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
    Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
    collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
    individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
    located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
    copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
    works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
    are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
    Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
    freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
    this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
    the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
    keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
    Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.

    1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
    what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
    a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
    the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
    before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
    creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
    Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
    the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
    States.

    1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:

    1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
    access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
    whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
    phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
    Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
    copied or distributed:

    This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
    almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
    re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
    with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.net

    1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
    from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
    posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
    and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
    or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
    with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
    work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
    through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
    Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
    1.E.9.

    1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
    with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
    must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
    terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
    to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
    permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

    1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
    License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
    work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.

    1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
    electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
    prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
    active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
    Gutenberg-tm License.

    1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
    compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
    word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
    distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
    "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
    posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.net),
    you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
    copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
    request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
    form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
    License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

    1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
    performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
    unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

    1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
    access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
    that

    - You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
         the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
         you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
         owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
         has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
         Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
         must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
         prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
         returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
         sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
         address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
         the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."

    - You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
         you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
         does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
         License.  You must require such a user to return or
         destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
         and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
         Project Gutenberg-tm works.

    - You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
         money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
         electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
         of receipt of the work.

    - You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
         distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.

    1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
    electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
    forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
    both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
    Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
    Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.

    1.F.

    1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
    effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
    public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
    collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
    works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
    "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
    corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
    property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
    computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
    your equipment.

    1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
    of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
    Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
    Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
    Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
    liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
    fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
    LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
    PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
    TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
    LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
    INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
    DAMAGE.

    1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
    defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
    receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
    written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
    received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
    your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
    the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
    refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
    providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
    receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
    is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
    opportunities to fix the problem.

    1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
    in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
    WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
    WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

    1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
    warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
    If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
    law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
    interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
    the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
    provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

    1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
    trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
    providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
    with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
    promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
    harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
    that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
    or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
    work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
    Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

    Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

    Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
    electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
    including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
    because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
    people in all walks of life.

    Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
    assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
    goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
    remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
    Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
    and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
    To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
    and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
    and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.

    Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
    Literary Archive Foundation

    Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
    spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
    increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
    freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
    array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
    ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
    status with the IRS.

    The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
    charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
    States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
    considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
    with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
    where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
    SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
    particular state visit http://pglaf.org

    While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
    have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
    against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
    approach us with offers to donate.

    International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
    any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
    outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

    Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
    methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
    ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
    donations.  To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

    Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
    works.

    Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
    concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
    with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
    Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

    Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
    editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
    unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
    keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

    Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:

         http://www.gutenberg.net

    This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
    including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
    Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
    subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
