P. G. Wodehouse
The spine, and I do not attempt to conceal the fact, had become soluble, in the last degree.

If men's minds were like dominoes, surely his would be the double blank.
P. G. Wodehouse
In a series of events, all of which had been a bit thick, this, in his opinion, achieved the maximum of thickness.
P. G. Wodehouse
I'm bound to say that New York's a topping place to be exiled in. Everybody was awfully good to me, and there seemed to be plenty of things going on, and I'm a wealthy bird, so everything was fine.
P. G. Wodehouse
What you want, my lad, and what you're going to get are two very different things.

It is the glorious uncertainty of golf that makes it the game it is.
P. G. Wodehouse
In all crises of human affairs there are two broad courses open to a man. He can stay where he is or he can go elsewhere.
