More quotes by Jerome K. Jerome
Being poor is a mere trifle. It is being known to be poor that is the sting.
Jerome K. Jerome
What the eye does not see, the stomach does not get upset over
Jerome K. Jerome
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.
Jerome K. Jerome
Cassivelaunus had prepared the river for Caesar, by planting it full of stakes (and had, no doubt, put up a notice-board).
Jerome K. Jerome
Angels may be very excellent sort of folk in their way, but we, poor mortals, in our present state, would probably find them precious slow company.
Jerome K. Jerome
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.
Jerome K. Jerome
Love is too pure a light to burn long among the noisome gases that we breathe, but before it is choked out we may use it as a torch to ignite the cozy fire of affection.
Jerome K. Jerome

Jerome K. Jerome
Too much of anything is a mistake, as the man said when his wife presented him with four new healthy children in one day. We should practice moderation in all matters.
Jerome K. Jerome
I often arrive at quite sensible ideas and judgements, on the spur of the moment. It is when I stop to think that I become foolish.
Jerome K. Jerome
It always does seem to me that I am doing more work than I should do. It is not that I object to the work, mind you I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.
Jerome K. Jerome
Seek out some retired and old-world spot, far from the madding crowd, and dream away a sunny week among its drowsy lanes - some half-forgotten nook, hidden away by the fairies, out of reach of the noisy world - some quaint-perched eyrie on the cliffs of Time, from whence the surging waves of the nineteenth century would sound far-off and faint.
Jerome K. Jerome
Time is but the shadow of the world upon the background of Eternity.
Jerome K. Jerome
Love is like the measles we all have to go through it.
Jerome K. Jerome
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.
Jerome K. Jerome
Love is woman's business,and in business we all lay aside our natural weaknesses.
Jerome K. Jerome
There is no fun in doing nothing when you have nothing to do. Wasting time is merely an occupation then, and a most exhausting one.
Jerome K. Jerome
