James Thurber Day
December 8th, 2008
In honor of James Thurber’s birthday, born 104 years ago today, enjoy this comic and a few Thurberisms.
Early to rise and early to bed makes a man healthy, wealthy, and dead.
It is better to have loafed and lost, than never to have loafed at all.
Man has gone long enough, or even too long, without being man enough to face the simple truth that the trouble with man is man.
The animals that depend on instinct have an inherent knowledge of the laws of economics and of how to apply them; Man, with his powers of reason, has reduced economics to the level of a farce which is at once funnier and more tragic than Tobacco Road.
Discussion in America means dissent.
A word to the wise is not sufficient if it doesn’t make sense.
