Hector Hugh Munro
The people of Crete unfortunately make more history than they can consume locally.
Hector Hugh Munro

Hector Hugh Munro
A woman who takes her husband about with her everywhere is like a cat that goes on playing with a mouse long after she's killed it.
Hector Hugh Munro
The young have aspirations that never come to pass, the old have reminiscences of what never happened.
Hector Hugh Munro
It's no use growing older if you only learn new ways of misbehaving yourself.
Hector Hugh Munro
I hate posterity - it's so fond of having the last word.
Hector Hugh Munro
There is no easy in the world neither hard everything is the same in a way.
