Lots of interesting quotes about noses on this page



Quotes, especially quotes about noses, are a good thing to have sitting in your memory bank. Think about the last time when the party was getting stale and boring. Wouldn't it have been convenient to have a real zinger at just the right time, when you are called upon to be the life of the party?


We thought you might get a kick out of a variety that we've found for you. Some are profound and thought provoking. Some are just plain silly - you might giggle a bit, and that's a good thing, as Martha Stewart says. Weave some of these into your next conversation and watch things perk up.

  • So much for industry, my friends, and attention to one's own business; but to these we must add frugality if we would make our industry more certainly successful. A man may, if he knows not how to save as he gets, keep his nose all his life to the grindstone, and die not worth a grout at last.
