More From Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart. anger is only one letter short of danger. if someone betrays you once, it is his fault; if he betrays you twice, it is your fault. great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. he who loses money, loses much; he who loses a friend, loses much more; he who loses faith, loses all.

The black masses want not to be shrunk from as though they are plague-ridden. they want not to be walled up in slums, in the ghettos, like animals. they want to live in an open, free society where they can walk with their heads up, like men, and women! few white people realize that many black people today dislike and avoid spending more time than they must about white people. this 'integration' image, as it is popularly interpreted, has millions of vain, self-exalted white people convinced that black people want to sleep in bed with them - and that's a lie!
