Famous quotes by jerome k. jerome:

    It is easy enough to say that poverty is no crime. No; if it were men wouldn’t be ashamed of it. It is a blunder, though, and is punished as such. A poor man is despised the whole world over.
    Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)

    I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours. I love to keep it by me; the idea of getting rid of it nearly breaks my heart.
    Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)

    I attribute the quarrelsome nature of the Middle Ages young men entirely to the want of the soothing weed.
    Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)
