The Complete PG Works of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

PREFACE TO THE NEW EDITION
48/419

-- ------FOOTNOTE: The more I have observed and reflected, the more limited seems to me the field of action of the human will.

Every act of choice involves a special relation between the ego and the conditions before it.

But no man knows what forces are at work in the determination of his ego.

The bias which decides his choice between two or more motives may come from some unsuspected ancestral source, of which he knows nothing at all.
