Quote of the Day by Ogden Nash continues to attract attention because it combines humour with an important relationship lesson. The popular quote, "The best way to remember your wife’s birthday is to forget it once," has been widely shared for many years. However, this quote is generally attributed to entrepreneur and author E. Joseph Cossman, not Ogden Nash. Nash is instead known for another famous observation about marriage: "Marriage is the alliance of two people, one of whom never remembers birthdays and the other never forgets them." Despite the confusion over authorship, both sayings remind people that relationships require appreciation, communication, responsibility, humility and consistent attention.
