Quotations from the PG Collected Works of Gilbert Parker
Parker, Gilbert
Canadian literature
Counsel of the overwise to go jolting through the soul
Love knows not distance; it hath no continent
When a child is born the mother also is born again
THE RIGHT OF WAY, by G. Parker, v1 [GP#70][gp70w10.txt]6143
He had had acquaintances, but never friendships, and never loves
He has wheeled his nuptial bed into the street
He left his fellow-citizens very much alone
I am only myself when I am drunk
I should remember to forget it
Liquor makes me human
Nervous legs at a gallop
So say your prayers, believe all you can, don't ask questions
Was not civilisation a mistake
Who knows!
THE RIGHT OF WAY, by G. Parker, v2 [GP#71][gp71w10.txt]6144
Is the habit of good living mere habit and mere acting
Suspicion, the bane of sick old age
THE RIGHT OF WAY, by G. Parker, v3 [GP#72][gp72w10.txt]6145
Always hoping the best from the worst of us
Have not we all something to hide--with or without shame?
In all secrets there is a kind of guilt
Pathetically in earnest
Things that once charmed charm less
THE RIGHT OF WAY, by G. Parker, v4 [GP#73][gp73w10.txt]6146
A left-handed boy is all right in the world
Damnable propinquity
Hugging the chain of denial to his bosom
I have a good memory for forgetting
Importunity with discretion was his motto
It is good to live, isn't it?
Know how bad are you, and doesn't mind
Strike first and heal after--"a kick and a lick"
THE RIGHT OF WAY, by G. Parker, v5 [GP#74][gp74w10.txt]6147
Good fathers think they have good daughters
Shure, if we could always be 'about the same,' we'd do
THE RIGHT OF WAY, by G. Parker, v6 [GP#75][gp75w10.txt]6148
Youth is the only comrade for youth
THE RIGHT OF WAY, by Parker, Complete [GP#76][gp76w10.txt]6149
A left-handed boy is all right in the world
