W. Somerset Maugham Quotes: It’s no use crying over spilt milk, because…

It's no use crying over spilt milk, because all of the forces of the universe were bent on spilling it.

("Of Human Bondage")

More Quotes from W. Somerset Maugham:

It is not true that suffering ennobles the character; happiness does that sometimes, but suffering for the most part, makes men petty and vindictive.
W. Somerset Maugham

The secret to life is meaningless unless you discover it yourself.
W. Somerset Maugham

If you want to eat well in England, eat three breakfasts.
W. Somerset Maugham

It is clear that men accept an immediate pain rather than an immediate pleasure, but only because they expect a greater pleasure in the future. Often the pleasure is illusory, but their error in calculation is no refutation of the rule. You are puzzled because you cannot get over the idea that pleasures are only of the sense; but, child, a man who dies for his country dies because he likes it as surely as a man eats pickled cabbage because he likes it.
W. Somerset Maugham

People ask you for criticism, but they only want praise.
W. Somerset Maugham

I am told that today rather more than 60 per cent of the men who go to university go on a Government grant. This is a new class that has entered upon the scene. It is the white-collar proletariat. They do not go to university to acquire culture but to get a job, and when they have got one, scamp it. They have no manners and are woefully unable to deal with any social predicament. Their idea of a celebration is to go to a public house and drink six beers. They are mean, malicious and envious . They are scum.
W. Somerset Maugham
