Gilbert Parker
 Being a man of very few ideas, he cherished those he had with an exaggerated care. |
| But paying is part of the game of life: it is the joy of buying that we crave. |
| Every man should have laws of his own, I should think; commandments of his own, for every man has a different set of circumstances wherein to work--or worry. |
| Every shot that kills ricochets. |
| For when a child is born the mother also is born again. |
| He came by a leap to the goal of purpose, not by the toilsome steps of reason. On the instant his headlong spirit declared his purpose: this was the one being for him in all the world: at this altar he would light a lamp of devotion, and keep it burning forever. |

| He was of those who hypnotize themselves, who glow with self-creation, who flower and bloom without pollen. |

| In all secrets there is a kind of guilt, however beautiful or joyful they may be, or for what good end they may be set to serve. Secrecy means evasion, and evasion means a problem to the moral mind. |
| It must be remembered that the sea is a great breeder of friendship. Two men who have known each other for twenty years find that twenty days at sea bring them nearer than ever they were before, or else estrange them. |
| It's the people who try to be clever who never are; the people who are clever never think of trying to be. |
| Love knows not distance; it hath no continent; its eyes are for the stars. |
| Man is born in a day, and he dies in a day, and the thing is easily over; but to have a sick heart for three-fourths of one's lifetime is simply to have death renewed every morning; and life at that price is not worth living. |
| Memory is man's greatest friend and worst enemy. |
