Parker, Gilbert, 1860-1932

"Images from the Works of Gilbert Parker"

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.
