I cannot bear a parent’s tears.

My father! The sun is my father, and the earth is my mother, and on her bosom I will recline.

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

All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.

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

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.

Men are what their mothers made them.

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

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

Nobody, who has not been in the interior of a family, can say what the difficulties of any individual of that family may be.

Again, men in general desire the good, and not merely what their fathers had.
