QUOTES AND IMAGES FROM THE WORKS OF GILBERT PARKER
THE WORKS OF GILBERT PARKER
A human life he held to be a trifle in
the big sum of time
A heart-break for that kind is their
salvation
A man may be forgiven for a sin, but
the effect remains
A look too bright for joy, too intense
for despair
A sort of chuckle not entirely pleasant
A man you could bank on, and draw your
interest reg'lar
A left-handed boy is all right in the
world
A cloak of words to cover up the real
thought behind
Aboriginal in all of us, who must have
a sign for an emotion
Aboriginal dispersion
Adaptability was his greatest weapon in
life
Advantage to live where nothing was
required of her but truth
After which comes steady happiness or
the devil to pay (wedding)
Agony in thinking about the things
we're never going to do
Ah, let it be soon! Ah, let him die
soon!
Air of certainty and universal
comprehension
All humour in him had a strain of the
sardonic
All genius is at once a blessing or a
curse
All the world's mad but thee and me
All men are worse than most women
All is fair where all is foul
All he has to do is to be vague, and
look prodigious (Scientist)
All are hurt some time
Always hoping the best from the worst
of us
Always calling to something, for
something outside ourselves
An inner sorrow is a consuming fire
And even envy praised her
Anger was the least injurious of all
grounds for separation
Answered, with the indifference of
despair
Antipathy of the lesser to the greater
nature
Antipathy of the man in the wrong to
the man in the right
As if our penalties were only paid by
ourselves!
At first--and at the last--he was kind
Ate some coffee-beans and drank some
cold water
Audience that patronisingly listens
outside a room or window
Awkward for your friends and gratifying
to your enemies
Babbling covers a lot of secrets
Bad turns good sometimes, when you know
the how
Begin to see how near good is to evil
Beginning of a lifetime of experience,
comedy, and tragedy
Being tired you can sleep, and in sleep
you can forget
Being generous with other people's
money
Being young, she exaggerated the
importance of the event
Being a man of very few ideas, he
cherished those he had
Beneath it all there was a little touch
of ridicule
Boldness without rashness, and hope
without vain thinking
But I don't think it is worth doing
twice
But to pay the vulgar penalty of
prison--ah!
But a wounded spirit who can bear
But the years go on, and friends have
an end
Came of a race who set great store by
mothers and grandmothers
Carrying with him the warm atmosphere
of a good woman's love
Cherish any alleviating lie
Clever men are trying
Cling to beliefs long after conviction
has been shattered
Confidence in a weak world gets
unearned profit often
Conquest not important enough to
satisfy ambition
Counsel of the overwise to go jolting
through the soul
Courage which awaits the worst the
world can do
Courage; without which, men are as the
standing straw
Credulity, easily transmutable into
superstition
Damnable propinquity
Dangerous man, as all enthusiasts are
Death is not the worst of evils
Death is a magnificent ally; it
untangles knots
Delicate revenge which hath its hour
with every man
Did not let him think that she was
giving up anything for him
Do what you feel you've got to do, and
never mind what happens
Does any human being know what he can
bear of temptation
Don't go at a fence till you're sure of
your seat
Don't be a bigger fool than there's any
need to be
Don't be too honest
Down in her heart, loves to be mastered
Duplicity, for which she might never
have to ask forgiveness
Each of us will prove himself a fool
given perfect opportunity
Egotism with which all are diseased
Egregious egotism of young love there
are only two identities
Engrossed more, it seemed, in the
malady than in the man
Enjoy his own generosity
Even bad company's better than no
company at all
Every true woman is a mother, though
she have no child
Every man should have laws of his own
Every shot that kills ricochets
Evil is half-accidental, half-natural
Face flushed with a sort of pleasurable
defiance
Fascinating colour which makes evil
appear to be good
Fear a woman are when she hates, and
when she loves
Fear of one's own wife is the worst
fear in the world
Flood came which sweeps away the rust
that gathers in the eyes
Follow me; if I retreat, kill me; if I
fall, avenge me
For a man having work to do, woman,
lovely woman, is rocks
Freedom is the first essential of the
artistic mind
Frenchman, volatile, moody, chivalrous,
unreasonable
Frenchman, slave of ideas, the victim
of sentiment
Friendship means a giving and a getting
Futility of goodness, the futility of
all
Future of those who will not see,
because to see is to suffer
Good fathers think they have good
daughters
Good is often an occasion more than a
condition
Good thing for a man himself to be owed
kindness
Grove of pines to give a sense of
warmth in winter
Grow more intense, more convinced, more
thorough, as they talk
Had the luck together, all kinds and
all weathers
Had the slight flavour of the superior
and the paternal
Had got unreasonably old
Have not we all something to hide--with
or without shame?
Have you ever felt the hand of your own
child in yours
He had neither self-consciousness nor
fear
He admired, yet he wished to be admired
He hated irony in anyone else
He was not always sorry when his
teasing hurt
He felt things, he did not study them
He was in fact not a philosopher, but a
sentimentalist
He had only made of his wife an
incident in his life
He didn't always side with the majority
He does not love Pierre; but he does
not pretend to love him
He was strong enough to admit ignorance
He has wheeled his nuptial bed into the
street
He had had acquaintances, but never
friendships, and never loves
He had no instinct for vice in the name
of amusement
He left his fellow-citizens very much
alone
He never saw an insult unless he
intended to avenge it
He had tasted freedom; he was near to
license
He borrowed no trouble
He wishes to be rude to some one, and
is disappointed
He's a barber-shop philosopher
Heaven where wives without number
awaited him
Her sight was bounded by the little
field where she strayed
Her voice had the steadiness of despair
Her stronger soul ruled him without his
knowledge
Her own suffering always set her
laughing at herself
Highsterics, they call it
His courtesy was not on the same
expansive level as his vanity
His duties were many, or he made them
so
His gift for lying was inexpressible
Honesty was a thing he greatly
desired--in others
How little we can know to-day what we
shall feel tomorrow
How can one force one's heart? No, no!
One has to wait
How many sons have ever added to their
father's fame?
How many conquests have been made in
the name of God
How can you judge the facts if you
don't know the feeling?
Hugging the chain of denial to his
bosom
Hunger for happiness is robbery
I love that love in which I married him
I was never good at catechism
I said I was not falling in love--I am
in love
I am only myself when I am drunk
I have a good memory for forgetting
I don't wish to fit in; things must fit
me
I like when I like, and I like a lot
when I like
I always did what was wrong, and liked
it--nearly always
I should remember to forget it
I don't believe in walking just for the
sake of walking
I don't think. I'm old enough to know
I can't pay you for your kindness to
me, and I don't want to
I had to listen to him, and he had to
pay me for listening
I was born insolent
I--couldn't help it
If you have a good thought, act on it
If one remembers, why should the other
forget
If women hadn't memory, she answered,
they wouldn't have much
If fumbling human fingers do not meddle
with it
Illusive hopes and irresponsible
deceptions
Imagination is at the root of much that
passes for love
Importunity with discretion was his
motto
In all secrets there is a kind of guilt
In her heart she never can defy the
world as does a man
Inclined to resent his own
insignificance
Instinct for detecting veracity, having
practised on both sides
Interfere with people who had a trade
and didn't understand it
Irishmen have gifts for only two
things--words and women
Is the habit of good living mere habit
and mere acting
It is hard to be polite to cowards
It is not Justice that fills the gaols,
but Law
It is not the broken heart that kills,
but broken pride
It is good to live, isn't it?
It is difficult to be idle--and
important too
It is not much to kill or to die--that
is in the game
It isn't what they do, it's what they
don't do
It ain't for us to say what we're goin'
to be, not always
It is easy to repent when our pleasures
have palled
It's the people who try to be clever
who never are
It's no good simply going--you've got
to go somewhere
Jews everywhere treated worse than the
Chinaman
Joy of a confessional which relieves
the sick heart
Kissed her twice on the cheek--the
first time in fifteen years
Knew the lie of silence to be as evil
as the lie of speech
Knew when to shut his eyes, and when to
keep them open
Know how bad are you, and doesn't mind
Knowing that his face would never be
turned from me
Lacks a balance-wheel. He has brains,
but not enough
Law. It is expensive whether you win
or lose
Learned what fools we mortals be
Learned, as we all must learn, that we
live our dark hour alone
Let others ride to glory, I'll shoe
their horses for the gallop
Liars all men may be, but that's wid
wimmin or landlords
Life is only futile to the futile
Lighted candles in hollowed pumpkins
Likenesses between the perfectly human
and the perfectly animal
Lilt of existence lulling to sleep
wisdom and tried experience
Liquor makes me human
Live and let live is doing good
Lonely we come into the world, and
lonely we go out of it
Longed to touch, oftener than they did,
the hands of children
Lose their heads, and be so absurdly
earnest
Love can outlive slander
Love, too, is a game, and needs playing
Love knows not distance; it hath no
continent
Love has nothing to do with ugliness
or beauty, or fortune
Lyrical in his enthusiasms
Man who tells the story in a new way,
that is genius
Man grows old only by what he suffers,
and what he forgives
Man or woman must not expect too much
out of life
May be more beautiful in uncertain
England than anywhere else
Meditation is the enemy of action
Memory is man's greatest friend and
worst enemy
Men and women are unwittingly their own
executioners
Men feel surer of women than women feel
of men
Men do not steal up here: that is the
unpardonable crime
Men must have their bad hours alone
Men are like dogs--they worship him who
beats them
Men are shy with each other where their
emotions are in play
Miseries of this world are caused by
forcing issues
Missed being a genius by an inch
Monotonously intelligent
More idle than wicked
Most honest thing I ever heard, but
it's not the most truthful
Most important lessons of life--never
to quarrel with a woman
Mothers always forgive
My excuses were making bad infernally
worse
Mystery is dear to a woman's heart
Nature twists in back, or anywhere,
gets a twist in's brain too
Nervous legs at a gallop
Never believed that when man or woman
said no that no was meant
Never looked to get an immense amount
of happiness out of life
Never to be content with superficial
reasons and the obvious
Never give up your soul to things only,
keep it for people
No note of praise could be pitched too
high for Elizabeth
No, I'm not good--I'm only beautiful
No news--no trouble
No virtue in not falling, when you're
not tempted
No past that is hidden has ever been a
happy past
No man so simply sincere, or so
extraordinarily prejudiced
Noise is not battle
Not good to have one thing in the head
all the time
Not content to do even the smallest
thing ill
Not to show surprise at anything
Nothing so good as courage, nothing so
base as the shifting eye
Nothing is futile that is right
Nothing so popular for the moment as
the fall of a favourite
Of those who hypnotize themselves, who
glow with self-creation
Of course I've hated, or I wouldn't be
worth a button
Often called an invention of the devil
(Violin)
Often, we would rather be hurt than
hurt
One does the work and another gets paid
One always buys back the past at a
tremendous price
One doesn't choose to worry
One favour is always the promise of
another
Only the supremely wise or the deeply
ignorant who never alter
Oriental would think not less of him
for dissimulation
Paradoxes which make for laughter--and
for tears
Passion to forget themselves
Pathetically in earnest
People who are clever never think of
trying to be
Philosophers are often stupid in human
affairs
Philosophy which could separate the
petty from the prodigious
Political virtue goes unrewarded
Prepared for a kiss this hour and a
reproach the next
Preserved a marked unconsciousness
Protest that it is right when it knows
that it is wrong
Put the matter on your own hearthstone
Queer that things which hurt most can't
be punished by law
Rack of secrecy, the cruelest
inquisition of life
Reading a lot and forgetting everything
Reconciling the preacher and the
sinner, as many another has
Religion to him was a dull recreation
invented chiefly for women
Remember the sorrow of thine own wife
Remember your own sins before you
charge others
Rewarded for its mistakes
Romance is an incident to a man
Sacrifice to the god of the pin-hole
Sardonic pleasure in the miseries of
the world
Saw how futile was much competition
Saying uncomfortable things in a
deferential way
Scoundrel, too weak to face the
consequences of his sin
Secret of life: to keep your own
commandments
Self-will, self-pride, and
self-righteousness were big in him
She lacked sense a little and
sensitiveness much
She was not to be forced to answer his
arguments directly
She knew what to say and what to leave
unsaid
She was beginning to understand that
evil is not absolute
She valued what others found useless
She wasn't young, but she seemed so
She had not suffered that sickness,
social artifice
She had provoked love, but had never
given it
She had never stooped to conquer
Should not make our own personal
experience a law unto the world
Shure, if we could always be 'about the
same,' we'd do
Simply to have death renewed every
morning
Slander ever scorches where it touches
Slow-footed hours wandered by, leaving
apathy in their train
Smiling was part of his equipment
So say your prayers, believe all you
can, don't ask questions
Solitude fixes our hearts immovably on
things
Some people are rough with the
poor--and proud
Some wise men are fools, one way or
another
Some are hurt in one way and some in
another
Sometimes the longest way round is the
shortest way home
Soul tortured through different degrees
of misunderstanding
Spurting out little geysers of other
people's cheap wisdom
Still the end of your existence, I
rejoined--to be amused?
Strike first and heal after--"a kick
and a lick"
Struggle of conscience and expediency
Surely she might weep a little for
herself
Suspicion, the bane of sick old age
Sympathy, with curiousness in their
eyes and as much inhumanity
Sympathy and consolation might be much
misplaced
Thanked him in her heart for the things
he had left unsaid
That anxious civility which beauty can
inspire
That iceberg which most mourners carry
in their breasts
That he will find the room empty where
I am not
The Government cherish the Injin much
in these days
The Injin speaks the truth,
perhaps--eye of red man multiplies
The blind tyranny of the just
The soul of goodness in things evil
The higher we go the faster we live
The gods made last to humble the pride
of men--there was rum
The world never welcomes its deserters
The furious music of death and war was
over
The tender care of a woman--than many
pharmacopoeias
The beginning of the end of things was
come for him
The ravings of a sick man are not
always counted ravings
The friendship of man is like the shade
of the acacia
The sea is a great breeder of
friendship
The vague pain of suffered indifference
The soul is a great traveller
The happy scene of the play before the
villain comes in
The threshold of an acknowledged love
The Barracks of the Free
The real business of life is trying to
understand each other
The world is not so bad as is claimed
for it
The temerity and nonchalance of despair
There is nothing so tragic as the
formal
There are things we repent of which
cannot be repaired
There is something humiliating in even
an undeserved injury
There should be written the one word,
"Wait"
There is no refuge from memory and
remorse in this world
There was never a grey wind but there's
a greyer
There is no influence like the
influence of habit
There is no habit so powerful as the
habit of care of others
There's no credit in not doing what you
don't want to do
These little pieces of art make life
possible
They think that if a vote's worth
having it's worth paying for
They whose tragedy lies in the capacity
to suffer greatly
Things in life git stronger than we are
Things that once charmed charm less
Think with the minds of twelve men, and
the heart of one woman
Think that a woman gives the heart for
pleasant weather only?
Think of our position
Thou wouldst not think how ill all's
here about my heart
Time when she should and when she
should not be wooed
Time is the test, and Time will have
its way with me
Time a woman most yearns for a man is
when she has refused him
To die without whining
To be popular is not necessarily to be
contemptible
To sorrow may their humour be a foil
To-morrow is no man's gift
Touch of the fantastic, of the
barbaric, in all genius
Training in the charms of
superficiality
Tricks played by Fact to discredit the
imagination
Triumph of Oriental duplicity over
Western civilisation
Truth waits long, but whips hard
Tyranny of the little man, given a
power
Undisciplined generosity
Untamed by the normal restraints of a
happy married life
Uses up your misery and makes you tired
(Work)
Vanity is the bane of mankind
Vanity of successful labour
Vanity; and from this much feminine
hatred springs
Very severe on those who do not pretend
to be good
Visions of the artistic
temperament--delight and curse
War is cruelty, and none can make it
gentle
Was not civilisation a mistake
We don't live in months and years, but
just in minutes
We want to get more out of life than
there really is in it
We want every land to do as we do; and
we want to make 'em do it
We grow away from people against our
will
We are only children till we begin to
make our dreams our life
We care so little for real justice
We do what we forbid ourselves to do
We suffer the shames we damn in others
We must live our dark hours alone
We speak with the straight tongue; it
is cowards who lie
We'll lave the past behind us
What fools there are in the world
What is gone is gone. Graves are
idolatry
What is crime in one country, is virtue
in another
What a nice mob you press fellows
are--wholesale scavengers
What'll be the differ a hundred years
from now
Whatever has been was a dream; whatever
is now is real
When a child is born the mother also is
born again
When you strike your camp, put out the
fires
When God permits, shall man despair?
When a man laugh in the sun and think
nothing of evil
Where the light is darkness
Where I should never hear the voice of
the social Thou must
Who knows!
Who can understand a woman?
Who get a morbid enjoyment out of
misery
Who say 'God bless you' in New York!
They say 'Damn you!'
Who never knew self-consciousness
Wit is always at the elbow of want
Without the money brains seldom win
alone
Woman's deepest right and joy and pain
in one--to comfort
Women only admitted to Heaven by the
intercession of husbands
Women are half saints, half fools
Women may leave you in the bright days
Women don't go by evidence, but by
their feelings
World was only the size of four walls
to a sick person
Worth while to have lived so long and
to have seen so much
Would look back and not remember that
she had a childhood
You went north towards heaven and south
towards hell
You have lost your illusions
You never can really overtake a
newspaper lie
You can't take time as the measure of
life
You cannot live long enough to atone
for that impertinence
You do not shout dinner till you have
your knife in the loaf
You never can make a scandal less by
trying to hide it
You've got blind rashness, and so you
think you're bold
You've got to be ready, that's all
You--you all were so ready to suspect
Youth hungers for the vanities
Youth is the only comrade for youth
Youth's a dream, middle age a delusion,
old age a mistake

1.F.
1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
your equipment.

your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with
the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
opportunities to fix the problem.

warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be

the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit https://pglaf.org
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
https://www.gutenberg.org
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
