If you don’t want to work you have to work to earn enough money so that you won’t have to work. – Ogden Nash who was born on this day in 1902.
He also said:
I have an idea that the phrase ‘weaker sex’ was coined by some woman to disarm the man she was preparing to overwhelm.
And:
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.
And:
Progress might have been alright once, but it has gone on too long.
And:
To keep your marriage brimming, With love in the loving cup, Whenever you’re wrong, admit it; Whenever you’re right, shut up.
People who work sitting down get paid more than people who work standing up.
And:

And:
Do you think my mind is maturing late, or simply rotted early?
