When a man or woman loves to brood over a sorrow and takes care to keep it green in their memory, you may be sure it is no longer a pain to them.
Jerome K. Jerome
Image
Five thousand people in one society might do something, but five thousand societies of one member each would be a holy trouble.

Time is but the shadow of the world upon the background of Eternity.
Jerome K. Jerome
Image
There is no more thrilling sensation I know of than sailing. It comes as near to flying as man has got to yet - except in dreams.
Jerome K. Jerome
Image
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.

Image
Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need - a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink for thirst is a dangerous thing.

Image
A new life begins for us with every second. Let us go forward joyously to meet it. We must press on, whether we will or not, and we shall walk better with our eyes before us than with them ever cast behind.

Love is like the measles we all have to go through it.
Jerome K. Jerome
Image
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
Image
If you are foolish enough to be contented, don't show it, but grumble with the rest and if you can do with a little, ask for a great deal. Because if you don't you won't get any.
