More quotes by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

"But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold."
"Don't flatter yourselves that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. On the contrary, the nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become."
"Where we love is home - home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts."
"There is no friend like an old friend who has shared our morning days, no greeting like his welcome, no homage like his praise."
"Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend."
