Famous quotes containing the word improve:
“Being a father
Is quite a bother . . .
You improve them mentally
And straighten them dentally, . . .
Theyre no longer corralable
Once they find that youre fallible . . .
But after youve raised them and educated them and
gowned them,
They just take their little fingers and wrap you around
them.
Being a father
Is quite a bother,
But I like it, rather.”
—Ogden Nash (19021971)

—Horace Walpole (17171797)
