I am still under the impression that there is nothing alive quite so beautiful as a thoroughbred horse.

John Galsworthy 88 quotes

Not the least hard thing to bear when they go from us, these quiet friends, is that they carry away with them so many years of our own lives.

John Galsworthy 88 quotes

Love is not a hot-house flowe...

Love is not a hot-house flower, but a wild plant, born of a wet night, born of an hour of sunshine; sprung from wild seed, blown along the road by a wild wind. A wild plant that, when it blooms by chance within the hedge of our gardens, we call a flower; and when it blooms outside we call a weed; but, flower or weed, whose scent and colour are always, wild!

Wealth is a means to an end, ...

Wealth is a means to an end, not the end itself. As a synonym for health and happiness, it has had a fair trial and failed dismally.

Take modern courtships! They resulted in the same thing as under George the Second, but took longer to reach it, owing to the motor-cycle and the standing lunch.

How to save the old that's wo...

How to save the old that's worth saving, whether in landscape, houses, manners, institutions, or human types, is one of our greatest problems, and the one that we bother least about.

Early morning does not mince words.

From behind a wooden crate we...

From behind a wooden crate we saw a long black-muzzled nose poking round at us. We took him out-soft, wobbly, tearful; set him down on his four, as yet not quite simultaneous legs, and regarded him. He wandered a little round our legs, neither wagging his tail nor licking at our hands; then he looked up, and my companion said: "He's an angel!"

John Galsworthy 88 quotes

It is by muteness that a dog ...

It is by muteness that a dog becomes for one so utterly beyond value; with him one is at peace, where words play no torturing tricks.Those are the moments that I think are precious to a dog-when, with his adoring soul coming through his eyes, he feels that you are really thinking of him.

John Galsworthy 88 quotes

There are moments when Nature...

There are moments when Nature reveals the passion hidden beneath the careless calm of her ordinary moods-violent spring flashing white on almond-blossom through the purple clouds; a snowy, moonlit peak, with its single star, soaring up to the passionate blue; or against the flames of sunset, an old yew-tree standing dark guardian of some fiery secret.

We are all familiar with the argument: Make war dreadful enough, and there will be no war. And we none of us believe it.

John Galsworthy 88 quotes

The law is what it is-a majestic edifice, sheltering all of us, each stone of which rests on another.

John Galsworthy 88 quotes

The young man who, at the end...

The young man who, at the end of September, 1924, dismounted from a taxicab in South Square, Westminster, was so unobtrusively American that his driver had some hesitation in asking for double his fare. The young man had no hesitation in refusing it.

By the cigars they smoke, and the composers they love, ye shall know the texture of men's souls.

John Galsworthy 88 quotes

If you do not think about you...

If you do not think about your future, you cannot have one.

Love has no age, no limit; and no death.

There is one rule for politicians all over the world: Don't say in Power what you say in opposition; if you do, you only have to carry out what the other fellows have found impossible.

John Galsworthy 88 quotes

Religion was nearly dead because there was no longer real belief in future life; but something was struggling to take its place - service - social service - the ants creed, the bees creed.

Idealism increases in direct proportion to one's distance from the problem.

When Man evolved Pity, he did a queer thing - deprived himself of the power of living life as it is without wishing it to become something different.
