George Horace Lorimer Quotes

Were we all one body, we should lose the tremendous stimulation that comes from the present arrangement, and I fear that our uniformity would become the uniformity of death and the tomb Picture Quote #1

The more I deal in it, the surer I am that human nature is all of the same critter, but that there’s a heap of choice in the cuts Picture Quote #1

You’ve got to get up every morning with determination if you’re going to go to bed with satisfaction Picture Quote #1

Believe me, it is no time for words when the wounds are fresh and bleeding; no time for homilies when the lightning’s shaft has smitten, and the man lies stunned and stricken. Then let the comforter be silent; let him sustain by his presence, not by his preaching; by his sympathetic silence, not by his speech Picture Quote #1

It is good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it’s good too, to check up once in a while and make sure you haven’t lost the things money can’t buy Picture Quote #1

Doing the same thing in the same way year after year is like eating a quail a day for thirty days. Along toward the middle of the month a fellow begins to long for a broiled crow or a slice of cold dog Picture Quote #1

Never threaten, because a threat is a promise to pay that it isn’t always convenient to meet, but if you don’t make it good it hurts your credit. Save a threat till you’re ready to act, and then you won’t need it Picture Quote #1
