Jerome K Jerome Quotes

If there is one person I do despise more than another, it is the man who does not think exactly the same on all topics as I do Picture Quote #1

He is very imprudent, a dog; he never makes it his business to inquire whether you are in the right or the wrong, never asks whether you are rich or poor, silly or wise, sinner or saint. You are his pal. That is enough for him Picture Quote #1

It was a lovely landscape. It was idyllic, poetical, and it inspired me. I felt good and noble. I felt I didn't want to be sinful and wicked anymore. I would come and live here, and never do any more wrong, and lead a blameless, beautiful life, and have silver hair when I got old, and all that sort of thing Picture Quote #1

Man, if he would live, must worship. He looks around, and what to him, within the vision of his life, is the greatest and the best, that he falls down and does reverence to Picture Quote #1

Truth and fact are old-fashioned and out-of-date, my friends, fit only for the dull and vulgar to live by. Appearance, not reality, is what the clever dog grasps at in these clever days. We spurn the dull-brown solid earth; we build our lives and homes in the fair-seeming rainbow-land of shadow and chimera Picture Quote #1

And we sit there, by its margin, while the moon, who loves it too, stoops down to kiss it with a sister's kiss, and throws her silver arms around it clingingly Picture Quote #1

It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless you have plenty of work to do. Idleness to be sweet, like kisses, must be stolen Picture Quote #1

To be misunderstood is the shy man's fate on every occasion; and whatever impression he endeavors to create, he is sure to convey its opposite Picture Quote #1

Eat good dinners and drink good wine; read good novels if you have the leisure and see good plays; fall in love, if there is no reason why you should not fall in love; but do not pore over influenza statistics Picture Quote #1

You can always tell the old river hand by the way in which he stretches himself out upon the cushions at the bottom of the boat, and encourages the rowers by telling them anecdotes about the marvelous feats he performed last season Picture Quote #1

Evil thought is a dangerous pet. It is safer to play with it from behind the iron bars of circumstance Picture Quote #1

If my name was on a serious work like this it would never get fair treatment. They would all say I had tried to be funny and failed Picture Quote #1

I don't understand German myself. I learned it at school, but forgot every word of it two years after I had left, and have felt much better ever since Picture Quote #1

We are but the veriest, sorriest slaves of our stomach. Reach not after morality and righteousness, my friends; watch vigilantly your stomach, and diet it with care and judgment. Then virtue and contentment will come and reign within your heart, unsought by any effort of your own; and you will be a good citizen, a loving husband, and a tender father-a noble, pious man Picture Quote #1

Life works upon a compensating balance, and the happiness we gain in one direction we lose in another Picture Quote #1

It is only the first baby that takes up the whole of a woman's time. Five or six do not require nearly so much attention as one Picture Quote #1

It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do Picture Quote #1

If you are foolish enough to be contented, don’t show it, but grumble with the rest Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

We shall never be content until each man makes his own weather and keeps it to himself Picture Quote #1

Being poor is a mere trifle. It is being known to be poor that is the sting Picture Quote #1

I could not conjure up one melancholy fancy upon a mutton chop and a glass of champagne Picture Quote #1

A good woman’s arms round a man’s neck is a lifebelt thrown out to him from heaven Picture Quote #1

The less taste a person has in dress, the more obstinate he always seems to be Picture Quote #1

The shy man does have some slight revenge upon society for the torture it inflicts upon him Picture Quote #1

It is always the best policy to speak the truth, unless, of course, you are an exceptionally good liar Picture Quote #1

People who have tried it, tell me that a clear conscience makes you very happy and contented; but a full stomach does the business quite as well, and is cheaper, and more easily obtained Picture Quote #1
