"It's a funny thing that when a..." - Quote by Robert Frost

“The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work.”

“So was I once myself a swinger of birches. And so I dream of going back to be.”

“All thought is a feat of association; having what's in front of you bring up something in your mind that you almost didn't know you knew”

“I may chance have some odd quirks and remnants of wit broken on me, because I have railed so long against marriage: but doth not the appetite alter? a man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age. Shall quips and sentences and these paper bullets of the brain awe a man from the career of his humour? No, the world must be peopled. When I said I would die a bachelor, I did not think I should live till I were married.”

“My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me.”

“I never did, nor do I believe I ever shall, give advice to a woman who is setting out on a matrimonial voyage; first, because I never could advise one to marry without her own consent; and, secondly, I know it is to no purpose to advise her to refrain when she has obtained it. A woman very rarely asks an opinion or requires advice on such an occasion, till her resolution is formed; and then it is with the hope and expectation of obtaining a sanction, not that she means to be governed by your disapprobation, that she applies.”

“I was born. When I was 23 I started telling jokes. Then I started going on television and doing films. That's still what I am doing. The end.”

“Smile first thing in the morning. Get it over with.”

“A well-tied tie is the first serious step in life.”
