Hector Hugh Munro
When people grow gradually rich their requirements and standard of living expand in proportion, while their present-giving instincts often remain in the undeveloped condition of their earlier days. Something showy and not-too-expensive in a shop is their only conception of the ideal gift.
Hector Hugh Munro
Monogamy is the Western custom of one wife and hardly any mistresses.
Hector Hugh Munro
On horseback he seemed to require as many hands as a Hindu god, at least four for clutching the reins, and two more for patting the horse soothingly on the neck.
Hector Hugh Munro
The young have aspirations that never come to pass, the old have reminiscences of what never happened.
Hector Hugh Munro
I love Americans, but not when they try to talk French. What a blessing it is that they never try to talk English.
Hector Hugh Munro
