Quotations from the PG Collected Works of Gilbert Parker
Parker, Gilbert
Canadian literature
After which comes steady happiness or the devil to pay (wedding)
All men are worse than most women
I always did what was wrong, and liked it--nearly always
Illusive hopes and irresponsible deceptions
Men feel surer of women than women feel of men
She lacked sense a little and sensitiveness much
To be popular is not necessarily to be contemptible
Who say 'God bless you' in New York! They say 'Damn you!'
AT SIGN OF THE EAGLE, by G. Parker, [GP#45][gp45w10.txt]6118
But I don't think it is worth doing twice
He wishes to be rude to some one, and is disappointed
I--couldn't help it
Interfere with people who had a trade and didn't understand it
Lose their heads, and be so absurdly earnest
Scoundrel, too weak to face the consequences of his sin
THE TRESPASSER, by G. Parker, v1 [GP#46][gp46w10.txt]6119
He was strong enough to admit ignorance
Not to show surprise at anything
Truth waits long, but whips hard
THE TRESPASSER, by G. Parker, v2 [GP#47][gp47w10.txt]6120
Down in her heart, loves to be mastered
I don't wish to fit in; things must fit me
Imagination is at the root of much that passes for love
Live and let live is doing good
THE TRESPASSER, by G. Parker, v3 [GP#48][gp48w10.txt]6121
Clever men are trying
He had no instinct for vice in the name of amusement
What a nice mob you press fellows are--wholesale scavengers
THE TRESPASSER, by Parker, Complete [GP#49][gp49w10.txt]6122
Clever men are trying
Down in her heart, loves to be mastered
He had no instinct for vice in the name of amusement
He was strong enough to admit ignorance
I don't wish to fit in; things must fit me

Live and let live is doing good

BATTLE OF THE STRONG, by G. Parker, v1 [GP#57][gp57w10.txt]6130
A sort of chuckle not entirely pleasant
Sacrifice to the god of the pin-hole
What fools there are in the world
BATTLE OF THE STRONG, by G. Parker, v2 [GP#58][gp58w10.txt]6131
Adaptability was his greatest weapon in life
He felt things, he did not study them
If women hadn't memory, she answered, they wouldn't have much
Lilt of existence lulling to sleep wisdom and tried experience
Lonely we come into the world, and lonely we go out of it
Never to be content with superficial reasons and the obvious
BATTLE OF THE STRONG, by G. Parker, v3 [GP#59][gp59w10.txt]6132
Egotism with which all are diseased
Egregious egotism of young love there are only two identities
Follow me; if I retreat, kill me; if I fall, avenge me
It's the people who try to be clever who never are
Knew the lie of silence to be as evil as the lie of speech
People who are clever never think of trying to be
BATTLE OF THE STRONG, by G. Parker, v4 [GP#60][gp60w10.txt]6133
