Quotes

  • Here I am in bed, with vinegar and brown paper over my nose, all the children sick, the baby howling like an unfledged tempest, some £500 to pay to-morrow; and as I sink disgustedly to sleep, Eliza murmurs (through the brown paper), "I hope you have spent a MERRY CHRISTMAS!"
  • Every country can claim for itself a of home manufacture. He of Australia is William Buckley.
  • Mothers-in-law are ladies with daughters. A mother-in-law may be considered as the beard on the matrimonial oyster.
  • Distrust the men who make bargains. They are a disgrace to humanity. No man ever saw a dog swap a bone with another dog.
  • I am rather good at it. I have been always borrowing. If I can borrow nothing else, I borrow ideas.
  • It is no use borrowing if you mean to pay. There have been more men ruined by 'temporary accommodation' than anything else.
