Everything Sholom Aleichem talks about in his plays and his short stories is about people, family, man's relationship with his God, the breaking down of tradition.

The way it is now, the asylums can hold the sane people but if we tried to shut up the insane we would run out of building materials.

Mark Twain

Overcoming fear and worry can be accomplished by living a day at a time or even a moment at a time. Your worries will be cut down to nothing.

Dr. Robert Anthony

Our relationship is very special. We were very much in love and still are. Thank God we found each other. When I say my life began with Ronnie, well, it's true. It did. Forty-six years? Can't imagine life without him.

Nancy Reagan

I think she just asked if she could touch my mango.

Cassandra Clare

I have always believed that all things depended upon Fortune, and nothing upon ourselves.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron
