More quotes by Ogden Nash
Then here's to the heartening wassail, Wherever good fellows are found Be its master instead of its vassal, and order the glasses around.
Ogden Nash
The trouble with a kitten is that eventually it becomes a cat.
Ogden Nash
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
Remorse is violent dyspepsia of the mind.
Ogden Nash
Indeed, everybody wants to be a wow, But not everybody knows exactly how.
Ogden Nash
Bankers are just like everybody else, except richer.
Ogden Nash
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.
Ogden Nash
In the world of mules there are no rules.
Ogden Nash
Any kiddie in school can love like a fool, But Hating, my boy, is an Art.
Ogden Nash
Here's a toast to the roast that good fellowship lends, with the sparkle of beer and wine May its sentiment always be deeper, my friends, than the foam at the top of the stein. Then here's to the heartening wassail, wherever good fellows are found Be its master instead of its vassal, and order the glasses around.
Ogden Nash
Some primal termite knocked on wood. And tasted it, and found it good. And that is why your Cousin May Fell through the parlor floor today.
Ogden Nash
Where there is a monster, there is a miracle.
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
The door of a bigoted mind opens outwards so that the only result of the pressure of facts upon it is to close it more snugly.
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
The old men know when an old man dies.
Ogden Nash
I don't mind their having a lot of money, and I don't care how they employ it, but I do think that they damn well ought to admit they enjoy it.
Ogden Nash
Commitments the voters don't know about can't hurt you.
Ogden Nash
I think that I shall never see A billboard lovely as a tree. Perhaps, unless the billboards fall, I'll never see a tree at all.
Ogden Nash
Wind is caused by the trees waving their branches.
Ogden Nash
