P. G. Wodehouse
Sober or blotto, this is your motto: keep muddling through.
P. G. Wodehouse
Well, you certainly are the most wonderfully woolly baa-lamb that ever stepped.

She's one of those soppy girls, riddled from head to foot with whimsy. She holds the view that the stars are God's daisy chain, that rabbits are gnomes in attendance on the Fairy Queen, and that every time a fairy blows its wee nose a baby is born, which, as we know, is not the case. She's a drooper.

P. G. Wodehouse
Love is a delicate plant that needs constant tending and nurturing, and this cannot be done by snorting at the adored object like a gas explosion and calling her friends lice.
P. G. Wodehouse
...there occurred to me the simple epitaph which, when I am no more, I intend to have inscribed on my tombstone. It was this: He was a man who acted from the best motives. There is one born every minute.
P. G. Wodehouse
He looks much more like a lobster than most lobsters do.
P. G. Wodehouse
The real objection to the great majority of cats is their insufferable air of superiority.
P. G. Wodehouse
She looked away. Her attitude seemed to suggest that she had finished with him, and would be obliged if somebody would come and sweep him up.
P. G. Wodehouse
I suppose half the time Shakespeare just shoved down anything that came into his head.
P. G. Wodehouse
Why don't you get a haircut? You look like a chrysanthemum.
