Quotations from the PG Collected Works of Gilbert Parker
Parker, Gilbert
Canadian literature
Boldness without rashness, and hope without vain thinking
Nothing is futile that is right
Religion to him was a dull recreation invented chiefly for women
MICHEL AND ANGELE, by G. Parker, v2 [GP#78][gp78w10.txt]6151
Each of us will prove himself a fool given perfect opportunity
No note of praise could be pitched too high for Elizabeth
She had never stooped to conquer
MICHEL AND ANGELE, by G. Parker, v3 [GP#79][gp79w10.txt]6152
Never believed that when man or woman said no that no was meant
Slander ever scorches where it touches

Boldness without rashness, and hope without vain thinking
Each of us will prove himself a fool given perfect opportunity
Never believed that when man or woman said no that no was meant

DONOVAN PASHA &c, by G. Parker, v1 [GP#83][gp83w10.txt]6156
A look too bright for joy, too intense for despair
His gift for lying was inexpressible
One favour is always the promise of another
DONOVAN PASHA &c, by G. Parker, v2 [GP#84][gp84w10.txt]6157
All the world's mad but thee and me
He had tasted freedom; he was near to license
DONOVAN PASHA &c, by G. Parker, v3 [GP#85][gp85w10.txt]6158
As if our penalties were only paid by ourselves!
Credulity, easily transmutable into superstition
Paradoxes which make for laughter--and for tears
What is crime in one country, is virtue in another
Women only admitted to Heaven by the intercession of husbands
DONOVAN PASHA &c, by G. Parker, v4 [GP#86][gp86w10.txt]6159
Anger was the least injurious of all grounds for separation
Dangerous man, as all enthusiasts are
Oriental would think not less of him for dissimulation
The friendship of man is like the shade of the acacia
Vanity of successful labour

There is no habit so powerful as the habit of care of others
