More quotes by George Horace Lorimer
Putting off a hard thing makes it impossible.
George Horace Lorimer
Back of every noble life there are principles that have fashioned it.
George Horace Lorimer
There is one excuse for every mistake a man can make, but only one. When a fellow makes the same mistake twice he's got to throw up both hands and own up to carelessness or cussedness.
George Horace Lorimer
Beginning before you know what you want to say and keeping on after you have said it lands a merchant in a lawsuit or the poorhouse, and the first is a shortcut to the second.
George Horace Lorimer
What you know is a club for yourself, and what you don't know is a meat-ax for the other fellow.
George Horace Lorimer
Some men are like oak leaves -- they don't know when they're dead, but still hang right on and there are others who let go before anything has really touched them.
George Horace Lorimer
Give fools the first and women the last word.
George Horace Lorimer
After forty years of close acquaintance with it, I've found that work is kind to its friends and harsh to its enemies. It pays the fellow who dislikes it his exact wages, and they're generally pretty small but it gives the man who shines up to it all the money he wants and throws in a heap of fun and satisfaction for good measure.
George Horace Lorimer
Let patriotism have its high days and freedom its monuments, and let the triumphs of navigators and generals be annually observed but surely, beyond all these, a season that stands for as much to the race as Easter does may well be remembered each year with songs and flowers and with every mark of gratitude and of loftiest jubilation.
George Horace Lorimer
I remember reading once that some fellows use language to conceal thought but it's been my experience that a good many more use it instead of thought.
George Horace Lorimer
You've got to get up every morning with determination if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction.
George Horace Lorimer
When an office begins to look like a family tree, you'll find worms tucked away snug and cheerful in most of the apples.
George Horace Lorimer
The easiest way in the world to make enemies is to hire friends.
George Horace Lorimer
The great secret of good management is to be more alert to prevent a man's going wrong than eager to punish him for it.
George Horace Lorimer
If God allows us to remain Methodist, Baptist, or Episcopalian, it may be on account of the unconverted, that they may be without excuse that every type of man may be confronted with a corresponding type of doctrine and of method. Surely there are means adapted to your state, and ministries fitted to your peculiar temperament.
George Horace Lorimer
The world is full of bright men who know all the right things to say and who say them in the wrong place.
George Horace Lorimer
Never ask a man what he knows, but what he can do.
George Horace Lorimer
True love is not only blind, but too gallant to ask a lady's age.
George Horace Lorimer
When a man makes a specialty of knowing how some other fellow ought to spend his money, he usually thinks in millions and works for hundreds.
George Horace Lorimer
Appearances are deceitful, I know, but so long as they are, there's nothing like having them deceive for us instead of against us.
