When a man once gets a start holding office, it is nearly always necessary to finally choke him off.

If you have sense enough to realize why flies gather around a restaurant, you should be able to appreciate why men run for office.

Love affairs have always great...

Love affairs have always greatly interested me, but I do not greatly care for them in books or moving pictures. In a love affair, I wish to be the hero, with no audience present.

Edgar Watson Howe 274 quotes

The most agreeable thing in life is worthy accomplishment. It is not possible that the idle tramp is as contented as the farmers along the road who own their own farms, and whose credit is good at the bank in town. When the tramps get together at night, they abuse the farmers, but do not get as much satisfaction out of it as do the farmers who abuse the tramps. The sounder your argument, the more satisfaction you get out of it.

A religion that never suffices to govern a man will never suffice to save him; that which does not sufficiently distinguish one from a wicked world will never distinguish him from a perishing world.

Edgar Watson Howe 274 quotes

Men are virtuous because women are; women are virtuous from necessity.

One of the most difficult things in the world is to convince a woman that even a bargain costs money.

Men are a good deal better collectively than they are individually. Many a man will do that privately which he will denounce in a crowd.
