Quotations from the PG Collected Works of Gilbert Parker
Parker, Gilbert
Canadian literature
You went north towards heaven and south towards hell
THE WORLD FOR SALE, by G. Parker, v1 [GP108][gp10810.txt]6181
Saw how futile was much competition
When you strike your camp, put out the fires
THE WORLD FOR SALE, by G. Parker, v2 [GP109][gp10910.txt]6182
They think that if a vote's worth having it's worth paying for
You never can really overtake a newspaper lie
THE WORLD FOR SALE, by G. Parker, v3 [GP110][gp11010.txt]6183
Agony in thinking about the things we're never going to do
I don't believe in walking just for the sake of walking
It's no good simply going--you've got to go somewhere
Most honest thing I ever heard, but it's not the most truthful
Women may leave you in the bright days
THE WORLD FOR SALE, by Parker, Complete [GP111][gp11110.txt]6184
Agony in thinking about the things we're never going to do
I don't believe in walking just for the sake of walking
It's no good simply going--you've got to go somewhere
Most honest thing I ever heard, but it's not the most truthful
Saw how futile was much competition
They think that if a vote's worth having it's worth paying for
When you strike your camp, put out the fires
Women may leave you in the bright days
You never can really overtake a newspaper lie
NEVER KNOW YOUR LUCK, by G. Parker, v1 [GP112][gp11210.txt]6185
Anny man as is a man has to have one vice
Her moral standard had not a multitude of delicate punctilios
Law's delays outlasted even the memory of the crime committed
She looked too gay to be good
They had seen the world through the bottom of a tumbler
NEVER KNOW YOUR LUCK, by G. Parker, v2 [GP113][gp11310.txt]6186
And I was very lucky--worse luck!
God help the man that's afraid of his own wife!
Sensitive souls, however, are not so many as to crowd each other
NEVER KNOW YOUR LUCK, by G. Parker, v3 [GP114][gp11410.txt]6187
He saw what he wished to see, which is the way of man
Searchers after excuses for ungoverned instincts and acts
Telling the unnecessary truth
What isn't never was to those that never knew
NEVER KNOW YOUR LUCK, by Parker, Complete [GP115][gp11510.txt]6188
