More quotes by Ogden Nash
When I remember bygone days I think how evening follows morn So many I loved were not yet dead, So many I love were not yet born.
Ogden Nash
Winter is the king of showmen, Turning tree stumps into snowmen And houses into birthday cakes And spreading sugar over lakes. Smooth and clean and frosty white, The world looks good enough to bite. That’s the season to be young, Catching snowflakes on your tongue. Snow is snowy when it’s snowing, I’m sorry it’s slushy when it’s going.
Ogden Nash

Ogden Nash

Ogden Nash

Ogden Nash

Ogden Nash
Some debts are fun while you are acquiring them, But none are fun when you set about retiring them.
Ogden Nash
Remorse is violent dyspepsia of the mind.
Ogden Nash
The Pig, if I am not mistaken, Supplies us sausage, ham, and Bacon. Let others say his heart is big, I think it stupid of the Pig.
Ogden Nash
At another year I would not boggle Except that when I jog I joggle.
Ogden Nash
Then blessings on thee, my afternoon torpor Thou makest a prince of a mental porpor.
Ogden Nash
Celery, raw, Develops the jaw
Ogden Nash
The only people who should really sin are the people who can sin and grin.
Ogden Nash
The further through life I drift the more obvious it becomes that I am lacking in thrift.
Ogden Nash
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
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.
