More quotes by O. Henry
Women's weapon, water-drops.
O. Henry
Now, girls, if you want to observe a young man hustle out after a pick and shovel, just tell him that your heart is in some other fellow's grave. Young men are grave-robbers by nature.
O. Henry
All of us have to be prevaricators, hypocrites, and liars every day of our lives otherwise the social structure would fall into pieces the first day. We must act in one another's presence just as we must wear clothes. It is for the best
O. Henry

O. Henry
Beauty is Nature in perfection circularity is its chief attribute. Behold the full moon, the enchanting golf ball, the domes of splendid temples, the huckleberry pie, the wedding ring, the circus ring, the ring for the waiter, and the round of drinks.
O. Henry
She plucked from my lapel the invisible strand of lint (the universal act of woman to proclaim ownership).
O. Henry
We can't buy one minute of time with cash if we could, rich people would live longer.
O. Henry
Of habit, the power that keeps the earth from flying to pieces though there is some silly theory of gravitation.
O. Henry
It ain't the roads we take it's what's inside of us that makes us turn out the way we do.
O. Henry
Broadway - the great sluice that washes out the dust of the gold-mines of Gotham.
O. Henry
No friendship is an accident.
O. Henry
It's said that love makes the world go around. Let me tell you, the announcement lacks verification. It's the wind from the dinner horn that does it.
O. Henry
There is this difference between the grief of youth and that of old age youth's burden is lightened by as much of it as another shares old age may give and give, but the sorrow remains the same.
O. Henry
