More quotes by Hector Hugh Munro

Hector Hugh Munro
There is no easy in the world neither hard everything is the same in a way.
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
I always say beauty is only sin deep.
Hector Hugh Munro
People may say what they like about the decay of Christianity the religious system that produced green Chartreuse can never really die.

Hector Hugh Munro
Once a female, always a female. Nature is not always infallible but she always abides by her mistakes.
Hector Hugh Munro
Why are women so fond of raking up the past? They're as bad as tailors, who invariably remember what you owe them for a suit long after you've ceased to wear it.
Hector Hugh Munro
Sherard Blaw, the dramatist who had discovered himself, and who had given so ungrudgingly of his discovery to the world.
Hector Hugh Munro
The young have aspirations that never come to pass, the old have reminiscences of what never happened.
Hector Hugh Munro
Children are given us to discourage our better emotions.
Hector Hugh Munro
But, good gracious, you've got to educate him first. You can't expect a boy to be vicious till he's been to a good school.
Hector Hugh Munro
You needn't tell me that a man who doesn't love oysters and asparagus and good wines has got a soul, or a stomach either. He's simply got the instinct for being unhappy highly developed.
Hector Hugh Munro
The cook was a good cook, as cooks go and as cooks go, she went.
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
Monogamy is the Western custom of one wife and hardly any mistresses.
