Peter Mayle Quotes

I am a great believer in people taking control of their own lives Picture Quote #1

I have a robust sense of humour which helps me deal with problems Picture Quote #1

There is nothing like a comfortable adventure to put people in a good humor. Picture Quote #1

When I was very young in London, I had a bank account, which didn’t have a great deal in it. I should think at least every three months the bank manager would call me up and threaten to strangle me because I had no money, and I was writing checks Picture Quote #1

We had to be up early in the morning. We had a goat race to go to... We asked the old man confident in the knowledge that he, like every Frenchman, would be an expertThe goats who make the most droppings before the race are likely to do well. An empty goat is faster than a full goat. C’est logique Picture Quote #1

Good manners make any man a pleasure to be with. Ask any woman Picture Quote #1

Why not make a daily pleasure out a daily necessity Picture Quote #1

I have a very set routine. I work six days a week, but only half days. I work from 9 in the morning till 1 in the afternoon, without any interruptions, a fair slug Picture Quote #1

I left school at 16 and skipped university to work, initially as a waiter. I think I missed out on what would have been great years Picture Quote #1

Nowadays, if you have a journey, albeit a simple one, you consider yourself lucky if nothing happens Picture Quote #1

Day after day we looked for rain, and day after day we saw nothing but the sun. Lavender that we had planted in the spring died. The patch of grass in front of the house abandoned its ambitions to become a lawn and turned into the dirty yellow of poor straw. The earth shrank, revealing its knuckles and bones, rocks and roots that had been invisible before Picture Quote #1
