Famous quotes by jerome k. jerome:

    It is always the best policy to speak the truth, unless of course you are an exceptionally good liar.
    Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)

    The shy man does have some slight revenge upon society for the torture it inflicts upon him. He is able, to a certain extent, to communicate his misery. He frightens other people as much as they frighten him. He acts like a damper upon the whole room, and the most jovial spirits become, in his presence, depressed and nervous.
    Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)
