Quotes
- “Mr. Jorrocks then called upon the company in succession for a toast, a song, or a sentiment. Nimrod gave, "The Royal Staghounds"; Crane gave, "Champagne to our real friends, and real pain to our sham friends."”
- “More people are flattered into virtue than bullied out of vice.”
- “The only infallible rule we know is, that the man who is always talking about being a gentleman never is one.”
- “There may be said to be three sorts of lawyers, able, unable, and lamentable.”
- “The supply of good fellows is by no means in excess of the demand. A man has only to hoist the flag of hospitality to insure a very considerable amount of custom.”
- “Better be killed than frightened to death.”
