Rhyming quotes?

Asked by JessicaRabbit (383points) February 3rd, 2011

I was wondering if anyone had any good rhyming quotes? A lot of the ones I am finding when I search the net are cheesy.

Dr. Seuss has a lot of great ones. One of my favorites is by Robert Browning- “Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be.” The actual quote is longer, but this is the part that rhymes and that I see written most often.

Check out Ogden Nash or Langston Hughes writing. Often were short snips
