Christopher Morley quotes

There is only one rule for being a good talker - learn to listen.

All cities are mad: but the madness is gallant. All cities are beautiful: but the beauty is grim.

Beauty is ever to the lonely mind a shadow fleeting; she is never plain. She is a visitor who leaves behind the gift of grief, the souvenir of pain.

A man who has never made a woman angry is a failure in life.

Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important, others not; and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs.

There are three ingredients in the good life: learning, earning and yearning.

The courage of the poet is to keep ajar the door that leads into madness.

There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way.

In every man's heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty.

There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way.

Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water.

Act like you expect to get into the end zone.

We've had bad luck with our kids - they've all grown up.

Big shots are only little shots who keep shooting.

A man who has never made a woman angry is a failure in life.
