More quotes by P. G. Wodehouse

P. G. Wodehouse
Cats, as a class, have never completely got over the snootiness caused by the fact that in ancient Egypt they were worshipped as gods. This makes them prone to set themselves up as critics and censors of the frail and erring human beings whose lot they share.
P. G. Wodehouse
The spine, and I do not attempt to conceal the fact, had become soluble, in the last degree.
P. G. Wodehouse
It isn't often that Aunt Dahlia lets her angry passions rise, but when she does, strong men climb trees and pull them up after them.

A roll and butter and a small coffee seemed the only things on the list that hadn't been specially prepared by the nastier-minded members of the Borgia family for people they had a particular grudge against, so I chose them.
P. G. Wodehouse

Employers are like horses — they require management.
P. G. Wodehouse
Some minds are like soup in a poor restaurant—better left unstirred.
P. G. Wodehouse
The real objection to the great majority of cats is their insufferable air of superiority.
P. G. Wodehouse
Well, there it is. That's Jeeves. Where others merely smite the brow and clutch the hair, he acts. Napoleon was the same.
P. G. Wodehouse
I suppose half the time Shakespeare just shoved down anything that came into his head.
P. G. Wodehouse
I pity the shrimp that matches wits with you Jeeves
P. G. Wodehouse
As for Gussie Finknottle, many an experienced undertaker would have been deceived by his appearance and started embalming on sight.
P. G. Wodehouse
That is life. Just one long succession of misunderstandings and rash acts and what not. Absolutely.
P. G. Wodehouse
Woman is the unfathomable, incalculable mystery, the problem we men can never hope to solve.
P. G. Wodehouse
Oh, I don't know, you know, don't you know?
P. G. Wodehouse
She looked as if she had been poured into her clothes and had forgotten to say 'when.'
P. G. Wodehouse
They were real golfers, for real golf is a thing of the spirit, not of mere mechanical excellence of stroke.
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
It was a morning when all nature shouted Fore! The breeze, as it blew gently up from the valley, seemed to bring a message of hope and cheer, whispering of chip shots holed and brassies landing squarely on the meat. The fairway, as yet unscarred by the irons of a hundred dubs, smiled greenly up at the azure sky.
