  6. A quotation from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

    Of course everybody likes and respects self-made men. It is a great deal better to be made in that way than not to be made at all.

    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809-1894) American poet, essayist, scholar
    Article (1856-11), “Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table,” Atlantic Monthly
