Additional quotes by John Godfrey Saxe

I like the lad who, when his father thought
To clip his morning nap by hackneyed phrase
Of vagrant worm by early songster caught,
Cried, "Served him right! — it's not at all surprising;
The worm was punished, sir, for early rising!"

Laws, like sausages, cease to inspire respect in proportion as we know how they are made.

Bless me! this is pleasant
Riding on the Rail.
