 Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life. (The conviction of the rich that the poor are happier is no more foolish than the conviction of the poor that the rich are.) |
| Good wine needs no bush; a jug is the thing |
| Great books are weighed and measured by their style and matter and not by the trimmings and shadings of their grammer |
| Great enterprises usually promise vastly more than they perform. |
| Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of joy must have somebody to divide it with. |
| Guides cannot master the subtleties of the American joke. |
| Habit is habit, and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time |
| Had double chins all the way down to his stomach |
| Half of the results of a good intentions are evil; half the results of an evil intention are good. |
| Happiness ain't a thing in itself /it's only a contrast with something that ain't pleasant. And so, as soon as the novelty is over and the force of the contrast dulled, it ain't happiness any longer, and you have to get something fresh. |
| Happiness is a Swedish sunset; it is there for all, but most of us look the other way and lose it |
| Hardly a man in the world has an opinion upon morals, politics or religion which he got otherwise than through his associations and sympathies. Broadly speaking, there are none but corn-pone opinions. And broadly speaking, Corn-Pone stands for Self-Approval. Self-approval is acquired mainly from the approval of other people. The result is Conformity. |
| Have a place for everything and keep the thing somewhere else; this is not advice, it is merely custom. |
| He does not care for flowers. Calls them rubbish, and cannot tell one from another, and thinks it is superior to feel like that. |
| He goes by the brand, yet imagines he goes by the flavor. |
