"I hope my tongue in prune juice smothers, If I belittle dogs and mothers." ― Ogden Nash Topic(s): Hope More From Ogden Nash "A family is a unit composed not only of children but of men, women, an occasional animal, and the common cold." "Parents were invented to make children happy by giving them something to ignore." "Middle age is when you’re sitting at home on a Saturday night and the telephone rings and you hope it isn’t for you." More In Hope "Be careful to leave your sons well instructed rather than rich, for the hopes of the instructed are better than the wealth of the ignorant."― Epictetus "It’s not the sentiments of men which make history but their actions."― Norman Mailer "When I think about the world I would like to leave to my daughter and the grandchildren I hope to have, it is a world that moves away from unequal, unstable, unsustainable interdependence to integrated communities – locally, nationally and globally – that share the characteristics of all successful communities."― William J.
