The right sort of people do not want apologies, and the wrong sort take a mean advantage of them. P. G. Wodehouse It was my Uncle George who discovered that alcohol was a food well in advance of modern medical thought. P. G. Wodehouse Memories are like mulligatawny soup in a cheap restaurant. It is best not to stir them. P. G. Wodehouse She had a penetrating sort of laugh. Rather like a train going into a tunnel. P. G. Wodehouse She looked as if she had been poured into her clothes and had forgotten to say "when." P. G. Wodehouse Success comes to a writer as a rule, so gradually that it is always something of a shock to him to look back and realize the heights to which he has climbed. P. G. Wodehouse Sudden success in golf is like the sudden acquisition of wealth. It is apt to unsettle and deteriorate the character. P. G. Wodehouse The fascination of shooting as a sport depends almost wholly on whether you are at the right or wrong end of the gun. P. G. Wodehouse |
