More quotes by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

"But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold."
"There is no friend like an old friend who has shared our morning days, no greeting like his welcome, no homage like his praise."
"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."
"Sweet is the scene where genial friendship plays the pleasing game of interchanging praise."
"Where we love is home - home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts."
