Famous quotes with Old fellow

  • A healthy old fellow, who is not a fool, is the happiest creature living.
    Gerald Brenan
  • There was no last animal I treated. When young farm lads started to help me over the gate into a field or a pigpen, to make sure the old fellow wouldn't fall, I started to consider retiring.
    James Herriot
  • Father Time is not always a hard parent, and, though he tarries for none of his children, often lays his hand lightly upon those who have used him well making them old men and women inexorably enough, but leaving their hearts and spirits young and in full vigour.

    Quentin Crisp
  • A healthy old fellow, who is not a fool, is the happiest creature living.
    Richard Steele
  • Listen, don't look so depressed, old fellow. This is what all of Heine's poems are like, it's only peasants who don't laugh at them; or rather, perhaps, Calvinists.

    Halldór Laxness
