More quotes by Jerome K. Jerome
A glass of wine often makes me a better man than hearing a sermon.
Jerome K. Jerome
I plodded conscientiously through the twenty-six letters, and the only malady I could conclude I had not got was housemaid's knee.
Jerome K. Jerome
A good woman's arms round a man's neck is a lifebelt thrown out to him from heaven.
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 very strange, this domination of our intellect by our digestive organs. We cannot work, we cannot think, unless our stomach wills so. It dictates to us our emotions, our passions.
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
Man, if he would live, must worship. He looks around, and what to him, within the vision of his life, is the greatest and the best, that he falls down and does reverence to.
Jerome K. Jerome
Being poor is a mere trifle. It is being known to be poor that is the sting.
Jerome K. Jerome
I could not conjure up one melancholy fancy upon a mutton chop and a glass of champagne.
Jerome K. Jerome
Contented, unambitious people are all very well in their way. They form a neat, useful background for great portraits to be painted against, and they make a respectable, if not particularly intelligent, audience for the active spirits of the age to play before. I have not a word to say against contented people so long as they keep quiet.
Jerome K. Jerome
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
Swearing relieves the feelings - that is what swearing does. I explained this to my aunt on one occasion, but it didn't answer with her. She said I had no business to have such feelings.
Jerome K. Jerome
Nature, always inartistic, takes pleasure in creating the impossible.
Jerome K. Jerome
It is in our faults and failings, not in our virtues, that we touch one another and find sympathy. We differ widely enough in our nobler qualities. It is in our follies that we are at one.
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
People who have tried it, tell me that a clear conscience makes you very happy and contented but a full stomach does the business quite as well, and is cheaper, and more easily obtained.
Jerome K. Jerome
Eat good dinners and drink good wine read good novels if you have the leisure and see good plays fall in love, if there is no reason why you should not fall in love but do not pore over influenza statistics.
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
Love is like the measles we all have to go through it.
Jerome K. Jerome
All is vanity and everybody's vain. Women are terribly vain. So are men - more so, if possible.
