Zitat des Tages von Jerome K. Jerome:
The weather is like the government, always in the wrong.
It is a most extraordinary thing, but I never read a patent medicine advertisement without being impelled to the conclusion that I am suffering from the particular disease therein dealt with in its most virulent form.
One we discover how to appreciate the timeless values in our daily experiences, we can enjoy the best things in life.
Conceit is the finest armour a man can wear.
Love is like the measles; we all have to go through it.
But there, everything has its drawbacks, as the man said when his mother-in-law died, and they came down upon him for the funeral expenses.
We drink one another's health and spoil our own.
If you are foolish enough to be contented, don't show it, but grumble with the rest.
I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.
It is so pleasant to come across people more stupid than ourselves. We love them at once for being so.
It is always the best policy to speak the truth, unless, of course, you are an exceptionally good liar.
I can see the humorous side of things and enjoy the fun when it comes; but look where I will, there seems to me always more sadness than joy in life.
It is in our faults and failings, not in our virtues, that we touch each other, and find sympathy. It is in our follies that we are one.
It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do.
I attribute the quarrelsome nature of the Middle Ages young men entirely to the want of the soothing weed.
