Benjamin Franklin King, Jr. Quote

Nothing to do but work,
Nothing to eat but food,
Nothing to wear but clothes
To keep one from going nude.


The Pessimist, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).


Nothing to do but work, Nothing to eat but food, Nothing to wear but clothes To keep one from going nude.

Nothing to do but work, Nothing to eat but food, Nothing to wear but clothes To keep one from going nude.

Nothing to do but work, Nothing to eat but food, Nothing to wear but clothes To keep one from going nude.

Nothing to do but work, Nothing to eat but food, Nothing to wear but clothes To keep one from going nude.
