Re: ‘Any Man Who Hates Dogs and Babies Can’t Be All Bad . . .’

From:
The Dictionary of Misinformation

"Any man who hates dogs and babies can’t be all bad."
Commonly misquoted at “Anybody who hates children and dogs can’t be all bad,” this saying did not originate with W. C. Fields. It was said about W. C. Fields by Leo Rosten, who did not originate the remark. It first appeared in Harper’s magazine (November 1937), where Cedric Worth attributes it to Byron Darton (though not with reference to fields).
