The thing that impresses me most about America is the way parents obey their children.

It is impossible to please all the world and one’s father.

God is our father, but even more is God our mother.

Motherhood is the strangest thing, it can be like being one’s own Trojan horse.

The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended—and not to take a hint when a hint isn’t intended.

A family’s photograph album is generally about the extended family—and, often, is all that remains of it.

Families, I hate you! Shut-in homes, closed doors, jealous possessions of happiness.

A Jewish man with parents alive is a fifteen-year-old boy, and will remain a fifteen-year-old boy till they die!

Men are what their mothers made them.

Mother died today. Or maybe it was yesterday, I don’t know. 

As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.
