I love the chill October days, when the brown leaves lie thick and sodden underneath your feet.

The facts of life are the impossibilities of fiction.

The advantage of literature over life is that its characters are clearly defined, and act consistently.

Nature, always inartistic, takes pleasure in creating the impossible.

A good woman's arms round a man's neck is a lifebelt thrown out to him from heaven.

There are two kinds of clocks....

There are two kinds of clocks. There is the clock that is always wrong, and that knows it is wrong, and glories in it; and there is the clock that is always right - except when you rely upon it, and then it is more wrong than you would think a clock could be in a civilized country.

There are the goods; if you want them, you can have them. If you do not want them, they would almost rather that you did not come and talk about them.

All is vanity and everybody's vain. Women are terribly vain. So are men - more so, if possible.

Jerome Jerome 164 quotes

Contented, unambitious people ...

Contented, unambitious people are all very well in their way. They form a neat, useful background for great portraits to be painted against, and they make a respectable, if not particularly intelligent, audience for the active spirits of the age to play before. I have not a word to say against contented people so long as they keep quiet.

There are various methods by which you may achieve ignominy and shame. By murdering a large and respected family in cold blood and afterward depositing their bodies in the water companies' reservoir, you will gain much unpopularity in the neighborhood of your crime, and even robbing a church will get you cordially disliked, especially by the vicar. But if you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human creature can pour out for you, let a young mother hear you call dear baby 'it

That is just the way with Memory; nothing that she brings to us is complete. She is a willful child; all her toys are broken. I remember tumbling into a huge dust-hole when a very small boy, but I have not the faintest recollection of ever getting out again; and if memory were all we had to trust to, I should be compelled to believe I was there still.

We want everything. All the ha...

We want everything. All the happiness that earth and heaven are capable of bestowing. Creature comforts, and heart and soul comforts also; and, proud-spirited beings that we are, we will not be put off with a part. Give us only everything, and we will be content. And, after all, Cinderella, you have had your day. Some little dogs never get theirs. You must not be greedy. You have KNOWN happiness. The palace was Paradise for those few months, and the Prince's arms were about you, Cinderella, the Prince's kisses on your

Let your boat of life be light...

Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need - a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink; for thirst is a dangerous thing.

Oh, give me back the good old days of fifty years ago,' has been the cry ever since Adam's fifty-first birthday.

Five thousand people in one society might do something, but five thousand societies of one member each would be a holy trouble.

Fox-terriers are born with about four times as much original sin in them as other dogs.
