Quotes by John Gould Fletcher

Deeds, not words shall speak me.
Death hath so many doors to let out life.

He never is alone that is accompanied with noble thoughts.
Go far -- too far you cannot, still the farther. The more experience finds you: and go sparing. One meal a week will serve you, and one suit, Through all your travels; for you'll find it certain. The poorer and the baser you appear, The more you look through still.
O woman, perfect woman! what distraction Was meant to mankind when thou wast made a devil!
