More quotes by Jerome K. Jerome
The world must be rather a rough place for clever people. Ordinary folk dislike them, and as for themselves, they hate each other most cordially.
Jerome K. Jerome
I like cats.... When I meet a cat, I say, Poor Pussy! and stoop down and tickle the side of its head and the cat sticks up its tail in a rigid, cast-iron manner, arches its back, and wipes its nose up against my trousers and all is gentleness and peace.
Jerome K. Jerome

Jerome K. Jerome
We must not think of the things we could do with, but only of the things that we can't do without.

Jerome K. Jerome
Evil thought is a dangerous pet. It is safer to play with it from behind the iron bars of circumstance.
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 could not conjure up one melancholy fancy upon a mutton chop and a glass of champagne.
Jerome K. Jerome
It is well we cannot see into the future. There are few boys of fourteen who would not feel ashamed of themselves at forty.
Jerome K. Jerome
It is so pleasant to come across people more stupid than ourselves. We love them at once for being so.
