Holmes's utilitarian judicial philosophy is best summed by his famous quote that "The life of the law has not been logic, but experience."  His own migration away from the uninformed Christianity of his youth can be seen in his advice as an old man to the younger generation:  "Young man, the secret of my success is that at an early age I discovered that I was not God." However such a statement may merely have been made to clarify a long running rumor of Holmes's omnipotence.

Although Justice Holmes retains an almost saint-like reverence in American law schools, there are actually few judges or law professors who follow his legal philosophy today.  An example of a utilitarian judge today would be [[Judge Richard Posner]] of the [[Seventh Circuit|Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals]], who wrote a book in tribute of Justice Holmes.
