NUMBER: | 135 |
AUTHOR: | Oliver Wendell Holmes (180994) |
QUOTATION: | Speak not too well of one who scarce will know Himself transfigured in its roseate glow; Say kindly of him what is, chiefly, true, Remembering always he belongs to you; Deal with him as a truant, if you will, But claim him, keep him, call him brother still! |
