THE WORKS OF JOHN GALSWORTHY
QUOTES
Attack his fleas--though he was supposed
to have none
Dogs: with rudiments of altruism and a sense
of God
Don't hurt others more than is absolutely
necessary
Early morning does not mince words
Era which had canonised hypocrisy
Forgiven me; but she could never forget
Health--He did not want it at such cost
Is anything more pathetic than the faith
of the young?
Law takes a low view of human nature
Let her come to me as she will, when she will,
not at all if she will not
Love has no age, no limit; and no death
Never to see yourself as others see you
Old men learn to forego their whims
People who don't live are wonderfully
preserved
Perching-place; never--never her cage!
Putting up a brave show of being natural
Socialists: they want our goods
Thank you for that good lie
To seem to be respectable was to be
You have to buy experience
COURAGE
COURAGE Is but a word, and yet, of words,
The only sentinel of permanence;
The ruddy watch-fire of cold winter days,
We steal its comfort, lift our weary swords,
And on. For faith--without it--has no sense;
And love to wind of doubt and tremor sways;
And life for ever quaking marsh must tread.
