Home Search Indexes E-books ... creative Creative Quotations from . . . Jerome K. Jerome (1859-1927) born on May 02 English author. "His warm, unsatirical, and unintellectual humour won him wide following, e.g., "Three Men in a Boat", 1889." Time is but the shadow of the world upon the background of Eternity. It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. "Mere bald fabrication is useless; the veriest tyro [fisherman] can manage that. It is in the circumstantial detail, the embellishing touches of probability, the general air of scrupulous veracity, that the experienced angler is seen." I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours. I love to keep it by me: the idea of getting rid of it nearly breaks my heart. "It is always the best policy to speak the truth, unless of course you are an exceptionally good liar." Published Sources for the above Quotations: F: "In "The Speaker's Electronic Reference Collection," AApex Software, 1994." R: ""Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow," "On Being Idle," 1889."

There lived there a very wonderful old fellow named Nicholaus Geibel. His business was the making of mechanical toys, at which work he had acquired an almost European reputation. He made rabbits that would emerge from the heart of a cabbage, flop their ears, smooth their whiskers, and disappear again; cats that would wash their faces, and mew so naturally that dogs would mistake them for real cats and fly at them; dolls with phonographs concealed within them, that would raise their hats and say, 'Good morning; how do you do?' and some that would even sing a song. "But, he was something more than a mere mechanic; he was an artist. His work was with him a hobby, almost a passion. His shop was filled with all manner of strange things that never would, or could, be sold things he had made for the pure love of making them. He had contrived a mechanical donkey that would trot for two hours by means of stored electricity, and trot, too, much faster than the live article, and with less need for exertion on the part of the driver, a bird that would shoot up into the air, fly round and round in a circle, and drop to earth at the exact spot from where it started; a skeleton that, supported by an upright iron bar, would dance a hornpipe, a life-size lady doll that could play the fiddle, and a gentleman with a hollow inside who could smoke a pipe and drink more lager beer than any three average German students put together, which is saying much.

Jerome, taken from the original etext jjknd10.txt. Arthur's Classic Novels The Cost Of Kindness By Jerome K. Jerome "Kindness," argued little Mrs. Pennycoop, "costs nothing." "And, speaking generally, my dear, is valued precisely at cost price," retorted Mr. Pennycoop, who, as an auctioneer of twenty years' experience, had enjoyed much opportunity of testing the attitude of the public towards sentiment. "I don't care what you say, George," persisted his wife; "he may be a disagreeable, cantankerous old bruteI don't say he isn't. All the same, the man is going away, and we may never see him again." "If I thought there was any fear of our doing so," observed Mr. Pennycoop, "I'd turn my back on the Church of England to-morrow and become a Methodist." "Don't talk like that, George," his wife admonished him, reprovingly; "the Lord might be listening to you."

The train left at this juncture. We entreated the railway officials to let us stop and see the show out. The play was becoming quite interesting. It was so full of movement.
