Few of them were to be trusted within reach of a trowel and a pile of bricks.
P. G. Wodehouse
Flowers are happy things.

Golf... is the infallible test. The man who can go into a patch of rough alone, with the knowledge that only God is watching him, and play his ball where it lies, is the man who will serve you faithfully and well.
P. G. Wodehouse
Has anybody ever seen a dramatic critic in the daytime? Of course not. They come out after dark, up to no good.

He was a tubby little chap who looked as if he had been poured into his clothes and had forgotten to say "when!"
P. G. Wodehouse
He was built on large lines, and seemed to fill the room to overflowing. In physique he was not unlike what Primo Carnera would have been if Carnera hadn't stunted his growth by smoking cigarettes when a boy.
P. G. Wodehouse

P. G. Wodehouse

The cup of tea on arrival at a country house is a thing which, as a rule, I particularly enjoy. I like the crackling logs, the shaded lights, the scent of buttered toast, the general atmosphere of leisured cosiness.
P. G. Wodehouse
The fascination of shooting as a sport depends almost wholly on whether you are at the right or wrong end of the gun.
P. G. Wodehouse
The least thing upset him on the links. He missed short putts because of the uproar of the butterflies in the adjoining meadows.
