Weather in towns is like a skylark in a counting-house-out of place and in the way.
Jerome K. Jerome
I could not conjure up one melancholy fancy upon a mutton chop and a glass of champagne.
Jerome K. Jerome
I like work it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.
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
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
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.

Harris said, however, that the river would suit him to a T. I don't know what a T is (except a sixpenny one, which includes bread-and- butter and cake AD LIB., and is cheap at the price, if you haven't had any dinner). It seems to suit everybody, however, which is greatly to its credit.
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
We drink [to] one another's health and spoil our own.
Jerome K. Jerome
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.
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
Love is like the measles we all have to go through it.
Jerome K. Jerome
Time is but the shadow of the world upon the background of Eternity.
Jerome K. Jerome
All is vanity and everybody's vain. Women are terribly vain. So are men - more so, if possible.
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
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
