When I was a child, I was living in the housing projects of Philadelphia. I didn't even have a Christmas tree.

The beautiful thing about older people is their ability to cut the fat off of conversation. When they talk, they don't go on forever and ever. They say what they have to say, and that's it. That was my grand dad. Some of the things he said stunned me, but his words were logical. I'll never forget them.

Any husband who says, "My wife and I are completely equal partners," is talking about either a law firm or a hand of bridge.

I am proud to be an American. Because an American can eat anything on the face of this earth as long as he has two pieces of bread.

A sail boat that sails backwards can never see the sun rise.
