Quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes
A thought is often original, though you have uttered it a hundred times.
Summary
This quote suggests that the originality of a thought is not determined by its utterance but rather by its inception in one's mind. Even if a thought has been expressed multiple times before, it can still be considered original if it originates from the individual's own thinking. It emphasizes that it is not the act of saying something that makes it unique, but the idea itself and the way it is formulated by the individual.
