One race there is of men, one of gods, but from one mother we both draw our breath.

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.

In our family, as far as we are concerned, we were born and what happened before that is myth.

It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us fathers and sons.

In peace, children inter their parents; war violates the order of nature and causes parents to inter their children.

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

There is not much less vexation in the government of a private family than in the managing of an entire state.

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