P. G. Wodehouse
Some time ago, he said, --how long it seems! -- I remember saying to a young friend of mine of the name of Spiller, 'Comrade Spiller, never confuse the unusual with the impossible.' It is my guiding rule in life.
P. G. Wodehouse
Many a man may look respectable, and yet be able to hide at will behind a spiral staircase.

P. G. Wodehouse

P. G. Wodehouse
The exquisite code of politeness of the Woosters prevented me clipping her one on the ear-hole, but I would have given a shilling to be able to do it. There seemed to me something deliberately fat-headed in the way she persisted in missing the gist.
P. G. Wodehouse
Do men who have got all their marbles go swimming in lakes with their clothes on?
P. G. Wodehouse
A little bit added to what you've already got gives you a little bit more.
P. G. Wodehouse
He looks much more like a lobster than most lobsters do.
P. G. Wodehouse
It is the glorious uncertainty of golf that makes it the game it is.
P. G. Wodehouse
This is peculiarly an age in which each of us may, if he do but search diligently, find the literature suited to his mental powers.
P. G. Wodehouse
A lesser moustache, under the impact of that quick, agonised expulsion of breath, would have worked loose at the roots.
P. G. Wodehouse
So always look for the silver lining And try to find the sunny side of life.
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.
