Don't take life so serious, son, it ain't nohow permanent.
Kelly quotes
So we got fifty percent. Babe Ruth didn't do no better. — Did you mean hittin' it... or throwin' it?
Kelly
Y'see, when you start to lick a national problem you have to go after the fundamentables. You want to cut down air pollution? Cut down the original source... Breathin!




Kelly Walt quotes
Halp! My powerful brain is blowed itself up!
Kelly Walt
Deck us all with Boston Charlie
Walla Walla, Wash, and Kalamazoo!
Nora's freezin' on the trolley,
Swaller dollar cauliflower Alleygaroo!
Don't we know archaic barrel,
Lullaby Lilla Boy, Louisville Lou.
Trolley Molly don't love Harold,
Boola Boola Pensacoola Hullabaloo!

Bark us all bow-wows of folly,
Polly wolly cracker n' too-da-loo!
Hunky Dory's pop is lolly gaggin' on the wagon,
Willy, folly go through!

Donkey Bonny brays a carol,
Antelope Cantaloup, 'lope with you!
Chollie's collie barks at Barrow,
Harum scarum five alarum bung-a-loo

Duck us all in bowls of barley,
Hinky dinky dink an' Polly Voo!
Chilly Filly's name is Chollie,
Chollie Filly's jolly chilly view halloo!

Bark us all bow-wows of folly,
Double-bubble, toyland trouble! Woof, Woof, Woof!
Tizzy seas on melon collie!
Dibble-dabble, scribble-scrabble! Goof, Goof, Goof!
Walt Kelly quotes
(After Pogo says, Eventual Porky, I figger ev'ry critter's heart's in the right place., Porky responds:) If you gotta be wrong 'bout somthin', that's 'bout the best thing they is to be wrong 'bout.
Walt Kelly
We have met the enemy and he is us.
Kelly Walt quotes
The natural born reason we didn't git no yew-ranium when we crosses the li'l yew tree and the gee-ranium is on account of cause we didn't have no geiger counter.

Is we runnin' TO it or FROM it?

Eventually every man gotta face the problem of tryin' to figger if it’s worthwhile to prove that he is himself.

The best break anybody ever gets is in bein' alive in the first place. An' you don't unnerstan' what a perfect deal it is until you realizes that you ain't gone be stuck with it forever, either.

Looking back on things, the view always improves.

Foo, a beautiful gal wastes her time gracin' up this swamp.

Some is more equal than others, as is well known. It ain't that your majority is outnumbered, you're just out-surrounded.
Kelly Walt
Thar’s only two possibilities: Thar is life out there in the universe which is smarter than we are, or we’re the most intelligent life in the universe. Either way, it’s a mighty sobering thought.

Ever since I heard you is got a million dollars I notice you is fraught with perspicacity.

God is not dead—He is merely unemployed...
