More quotes by Douglas William Jerrold
The life of the husbandman,—a life fed by the bounty of earth and sweetened by the airs of heaven.
Earth is here so kind, that just tickle her with a hoe and she laughs with a harvest.
As for the brandy, "nothing extenuate;" and the water, put nought in it malice.
Some people are so fond of ill-luck that they run half-way to meet it.
The surest way to hit a woman’s heart is to take aim kneeling.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
