More quotes by Ogden Nash
I myself am more and more inclined to agree with Omar and Satchel Paige as I grow older: Don't try to rewrite what the moving finger has writ, and don't ever look over your shoulder.
Ogden Nash
Here is a pen and here is a pencil, here's a typewriter, here's a stencil, here's a list of today's appointments, and all the flies in all the ointments, the daily woes that a man endures -- take them, George, they're yours!
Ogden Nash
Professional men, they have no cares whatever happens, they get theirs.
Ogden Nash
There is something about a martini, Ere the dining and dancing begin, And to tell you the truth, It is not the vermouth- I think that perhaps it's the gin.
Ogden Nash
Some people's money is merited and other people's is inherited.
Ogden Nash
A bird in the open never looks Like its picture in the birdie books - Or if it once did, it has changed its plumage, And plunges you back into ignorant gloomage.
Ogden Nash
In the world of mules there are no rules.
Ogden Nash
Certainly there are lots of things in life that money won't buy, but it's very funny- Have you ever tried to buy them without money?
Ogden Nash
Happiness is having a scratch for every itch.
Ogden Nash
Time is like the ocean, always there, always different.
Ogden Nash
Neath tile or thatch That man is rich Who has a scratch For every itch.
Ogden Nash
To Tom Carlson or his dog-depending on whose taste it best suits.
Ogden Nash
The only incurable troubles of the rich are the troubles that money can't cure, Which is a kind of trouble that is even more troublesome if you are poor.
Ogden Nash
Why did the Lord give use so much quickness unless it was to avoid responsibility?
Ogden Nash
When I ponder my mind I consistently find It is glued On food.
Ogden Nash
Life has a tendency to obfuscate and bewilder, Such as fating us to spend the first part of our lives being embarrassed by our parents and the last part being embarrassed by our children.
Ogden Nash
Snow is all right while it is snowing it is like inebriation because it is very pleasing when it is coming, but very unpleasing when it is going.
Ogden Nash
Middle-age is when you're sitting at home on a Saturday night and the telephone rings and you hope it isn't for you.
Ogden Nash
The old men know when an old man dies.
Ogden Nash
Husbands are things that wives have to get used to putting up with. And with whom they breakfast with and sup with. They interfere with the discipline of nurseries, And forget anniversaries, And when they have been particularly remiss, They think they can cure everything with a great big kiss.
Ogden Nash
