Five quotes by Ogden Nash

Frederic Ogden Nash (August 19, 1902 – May 19, 1971) was an American poet well known for his light verse, of which he wrote over 500 pieces. With his unconventional rhyming schemes, he was declared by The New York Times the country's best-known producer of humorous poetry.
 Middle age is when you've met so many people that every new person you meet reminds you of someone else. 
[+]
 People who work sitting down get paid more than people who work standing up. 
[+]
 Progress may have been acceptable once but it has gone on too long. 
[+]
 Some tortures are physical
And some are mental,
But the one that is both
Is dental. 
[+]
 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.
