Truth, like milk, arrives in the dark But even so, wise dogs don't bark. Only mongrels make it hard For the milkman to come up the yard.

Christopher Morley 175 quotes

A mind too proud to unbend over the small ridiculosa of life is as painful as a library with no trash in it.

Christopher Morley 175 quotes

Blessed is the satirist; and b...

Blessed is the satirist; and blessed the ironist; blessed the witty scoffer, and blessed the sentimentalist; for each, having seen one spoke of the wheel, thinks to have seen all, and is content.

There are a lot of people who must have the table laid in the usual fashion or they will not enjoy the dinner.

Christopher Morley 175 quotes

Blessed is he who has never be...

Blessed is he who has never been tempted; for he knows not the frailty of his rectitude.

Christopher Morley 175 quotes

America is still a government ...

America is still a government of the naive, for the naive, and by the naive. He who does not know this, nor relish it, has no inkling of the nature of his country.

Christopher Morley 175 quotes

The man who never in his life ...

The man who never in his life Has washed the dishes with his wife Or polished up the silver plate - He still is largely celibate.

Christopher Morley 175 quotes

The evening papers print what they do and get away with it because by afternoon the human mind is ruined anyhow.

Christopher Morley 175 quotes

Perhaps this is an age when men think bravely of the human spirit; for surely they have a strange lust to lay it bare.

Christopher Morley 175 quotes

Truth and Beauty (perhaps Keat...

Truth and Beauty (perhaps Keats was wrong in identifying them: perhaps they have the relation of Wit and Humour, or Rain and Rainbow) are of interest only to hungry people. There are several kinds of hunger. If Socrates, Spinoza, and Santayana had had free access to a midnight icebox we would never have heard of them. Shall I be ashamed of my little mewing truths?... I ask to be forgiven: they are such tiny ones.

There is indeed a heaven on this earth, a heaven which we inhabit when we read a good book.

Christopher Morley 175 quotes

We visit bookshops not so often to buy any one special book, but rather to rediscover, in the happier and more expressive words of others, our own encumbered soul.

Christopher Morley 175 quotes

Being in a hurry seems so fier...

Being in a hurry seems so fiercely important when you yourself are the hurrier and so comically ludicrous when it is someone else.

Christopher Morley 175 quotes

The world, in its sheer exuber...

The world, in its sheer exuberance of kindness, will try to bury the poet with warm and lovely human trivialities. It will even ask him to autograph books.

Christopher Morley 175 quotes

The unluckiest insolvent in the world is the man whose expenditure of speech is too great for his income of ideas.

Christopher Morley 175 quotes

Beware of the conversationalis...

Beware of the conversationalist who adds 'in other words.' He is merely starting afresh.

Christopher Morley 175 quotes

There is an innate decorum in man, and it is not fair to thrust Truth upon people when they don't expect it. Only the very generous are ready for Truth impromptu.

Christopher Morley 175 quotes

Never write up your diary on the day itself, for it takes longer than that to know what happened.

Christopher Morley 175 quotes

There is no mistaking a real b...

There is no mistaking a real book when one meets it. It is like falling in love, and like that colossal adventure it is an experience of great social import. Even as the tranced swain, the booklover yearns to tell others of his bliss. He writes letters about it, adds it to the postscript of all manner of communications, intrudes it into telephone messages, and insists on his friends writing down the title of the find. Like the simple-hearted betrothed, once certain of his conquest

Christopher Morley 175 quotes

Any man worth his salt has by the time he is forty-five accumulated a crown of thorns, and the problem is to learn to wear it over one ear.
