Why and Wherefore set out one day,
To hunt for a wild Negation.
They agreed to meet at a cool retreat
On the Point of Interrogation.

Many are called but few get up.
The Cynic's Calendar of Revised Wisdom (1905)
There is no time like the pleasant.
The Cynic's Calendar of Revised Wisdom (1905)
The bubble winked at me, and said,
"You'll miss me brother, when you're dead."
Here's to old Adam's crystal ale,
Clear sparkling and divine,
Fair H2O, long may you flow,
We drink your health (in wine).
Children, behold the Chimpanzee;
He sits on the ancestral tree
From which we sprang in ages gone.
I'm glad we sprang: had we held on,
We might, for aught that I can say,
Be horrid Chimpanzees to-day.
The Chimpanzee; Reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922)
