P. G. Wodehouse
One of the drawbacks to life is that it contains moments when one is compelled to tell the truth.
P. G. Wodehouse
I suppose he must have taken about a nine or something in hats. Shows what a rotten thing it is to let your brain develop too much.
P. G. Wodehouse
In his normal state he would not strike a lamb. I’ve known him to do it’ ‘Do what?’ ‘Not strike lambs
P. G. Wodehouse
It is not mere technical skill that makes a man a golfer, it is the golfing soul.
P. G. Wodehouse

P. G. Wodehouse
Mr Howard Saxby, literary agent, was knitting a sock. He knitted a good deal, he would tell you if you asked him, to keep himself from smoking, adding that he also smoked a good deal to keep himself from knitting.
P. G. Wodehouse

P. G. Wodehouse
Why don't you get a haircut? You look like a chrysanthemum.
P. G. Wodehouse
When you have been just told that the girl you love is definitely betrothed to another, you begin to understand how Anarchists must feel when the bomb goes off too soon.
P. G. Wodehouse
Golf, like the measles, should be caught young, for, if postponed to riper years, the results may be serious.
