Image
One would be in less danger From the wiles of the stranger If one's own kin and kith Were more fun to be with.
Ogden Nash
Image
Your hair may be brushed, but your mind's untidy. You've had about seven hours of sleep since Friday. No wonder you feel that lost sensation. You're sunk from a riot of relaxation.
Ogden Nash
Image
In the world of mules there are no rules.
Ogden Nash
Image
The dog is man's best friend. He has a tail on one end. Up in front he has teeth. And four legs underneath.
Ogden Nash
Image
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
Image
Then blessings on thee, my afternoon torpor Thou makest a prince of a mental porpor.
Ogden Nash
Image
Don't over-analyze your marriage it's like yanking up a fragile indoor plant every 20 minutes to see how its roots are growing.
Ogden Nash
Image
Love is a word that is constantly heard, Hate is a word that is not. Love, I am told, is more precious than gold. Love, I have read, is hot. But hate is the verb that to me is superb, And Love but a drug on the mart. Any kiddie in school can love like a fool, But Hating, my boy, is an Art.
Ogden Nash
Image
Some people's money is merited and other people's is inherited.
Ogden Nash
Image
No, you never get any fun Out of the things you haven't done.
Ogden Nash
Image
I would live all my life in nonchalance and insouciance, were it not for making living, which is rather a nouciance.
Ogden Nash
Image
Why did the Lord give use so much quickness unless it was to avoid responsibility?
Ogden Nash
Image
Where there is a monster, there is a miracle.
Ogden Nash
Image
But that wasn't fancy enough for Lord Byron, oh dear me no, he had to invent a lot of figures of speech and then interpolate them, With the result that whenever you mention Old Testament soldiers to people they say Oh yes, they're the ones that a lot of wolves dressed up in gold and purple ate them.
Ogden Nash
Image
O money, money, money. I'm not necessarily one of those who think thee holy, but I often stop to wonder how thou canst go out so fast when thou comest in so slowly.
Ogden Nash
Image
Authors of all races, be they Greeks, Romans, Teutons, or Celts, Can't seem just to say anything is the thing it is but have to go out of their way to say that it is like something else.
Ogden Nash
Image
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
Image
All husbands are alike, but they have different faces so you can tell them apart.
Ogden Nash
Image
I'd rather be a great bad poet than a good bad poet.
Ogden Nash
Image
The doctor gets you when you're born, The preacher, when you marry, And the lawyer lurks with costly clerks If too much on you carry. Professional men, they have no cares Whatever happens, they get theirs.
