I never turn down a drink. Among friends it’s always appropriate. A man is only a man as they say, but brandy is still brandy. You’ll find that in the Talmud too.

It is an old custom amongst Jewish children, to become war-like on the 'L'ag Beomer.' They arm themselves from head to foot with wooden swords, pop-guns and bows and arrows. They take food with them, and go off to wage war.

No one knows whom the shoe pinches - no one.

A bachelor is a man who comes to work each morning from a different direction.

Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor.

Ah, how many luxuries has the good God prepared for his Jewish children.
