Hot dogs always seem better out than at home; so do French-fried potatoes; so do your children.
If you see in your children most of your own faults, you have failed as a parent, but succeeded as a neurotic.
I know which side my bread is buttered on: the side which falls on the carpet.
When "Why not do it?" barely outweighs "Why do it?" — don't do it.
Mumps, measles, and puppy love are terrible after twenty.
Neurosis is no worse than a bad cold; you ache all over, and it's made you a mess, but you won't die from it.
