John Galsworthy

John Galsworthy
Memory heaps dead leaves on corpse-like deeds, from under which they do but vaguely offend the sense.
John Galsworthy
As a man lives and thinks, so he will write.
John Galsworthy
Beauty means this to one person, perhaps, and that to the other. And yet when any one of us has seen or heard or read that which to us is beautiful, we have known an emotion which is in every case the same in kind, if not in degree an emotion precious and uplifting.
John Galsworthy
The young man who, at the end of September, 1924, dismounted from a taxicab in South Square, Westminster, was so unobtrusively American that his driver had some hesitation in asking for double his fare. The young man had no hesitation in refusing it.
John Galsworthy
It's not life that counts but the fortitude you bring into it.
John Galsworthy
Not the least hard thing to bear when they go from us, these quiet friends, is that they carry away with them so many years of our own lives.
John Galsworthy
Life calls the tune, we dance.
John Galsworthy
The beginnings and endings of all human undertakings are untidy.
