6943 Oliver Wendell Holmes 1809-1894 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:6943
AUTHOR:Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809–1894)
QUOTATION:You hear that boy laughing?—you think he’s all fun;
But the angels laugh, too, at the good he has done;
The children laugh loud as they troop to his call,
And the poor man that knows him laughs loudest of all.
