Occasion

But, in those years the sky in Beijing was always clear and blue, and there was not much traffic in the city because there were not many cars at all.

I once told my son that he must stay healthy and live longer so that he can witness the centennial anniversary of the motherland’s founding because I am confident of the future of China, said Wong Po-yan, a well-known Hong Kong entrepreneur.
Wong, 86, said he has always wished the motherland a strong nation so that it would no longer be bullied by others.

Looking back over the past 60 years, we can notice that the so-called China model has an obvious feature, namely, the Chinese leaders and people can continuously rectify mistakes so as to achieve continuous development, said Cheng Li, director of the John L. Thornton China Center of the Brookings Institution in the United States.

It is obligatory for me to do what my country asks me to do. As a Chinese, I feel very proud and excited, said Hong Kong superstar Jackie Chan at the celebration.

Ma Ni, a physique shaping coach for volunteers at the Beijing Olympics, said she gave full mark to the paraded soldiers as they were handsome and brave and completely suit the standard of nice figures.

History reveals that China’s development has never been a plain sailing, but the people who have their destiny in their own hands and are united will overcome all difficulties and obstacles and continuously make great historic achievements, said President Hu ****** while making a speech at the Tian’anmen Rostrum.

The appearance of the portraits of the four Communist Party of China (CPC) leaders (Mao Zedong, Deng ********, Jiang ***** and Hu ******) showed that the Party’s legacy has been handed down from one generation to another since the founding of the CPC, said Prof. Cai Xia with the Party School of the CPC Central Committee.

She said China sent to the world a clear signal of keeping on the socialist track.

Renowned Chinese actor Tang Guoqiang, who acted Chairman Mao Zedong in many films including the latest hit The Founding of A Republic, said at a viewing stand that he had the same age with New China and he wanted to watch the mass parade as the masses’ support is essential to the leadership.

It is a birthday of New China and a great festival of overseas Chinese. China’s military parade is the largest ever I’ve seen compared to those of other countries, said Ling Ta Fou, director of Hungary’s general federation of overseas Chinese, at the celebration.

We have a strong army now, and we have also made rapid economic development. My comrades who sacrificed their lives for New China can rest in peace now, said 80-year-old veteran Zhang Wentao, who joined the army in 1945 and fought the War of Liberation (1946-1949).

I am really shocked at the organizing work of the parade. The whole event proceeded precisely and orderly, said a Taiwan businessman, who identified himself as Mr Zhong.

Henry Hu, President of Shue Yan University of Hong Kong, attended the 30th National Day celebration of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1979. The country was in a slump after the chaotic decade of the Cultural Revolution, he recalled.

Oh, may I join the choir invisible
Of those immortal dead who live again.
George Eliot, The Choir Invisible

For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.
William Penn

A human life is a story told by God.
Hans Christian Andersen

The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.
Seneca

From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity.
Edvard Munch

I knew a man who once said, “death smiles at us all; all a man can do is smile back.”
From the movie Gladiator

Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life.
John Muir

God pours life into death and death into life without a drop being spilled.
Author Unknown

To live in hearts we leave behind
Is not to die.
Thomas Campbell, “Hallowed Ground”

He spake well who said that graves are the footprints of angels.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Paradise -

I see flowers
from the cottage where I lie.
Yaitsu’s death poem, 1807

As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci

There’s a bit of magic in everything, and some loss to even things out.
Lou Reed, “Magic and Loss”

All say, “How hard it is that we have to die” – a strange complaint to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
Mark Twain

Someday I’ll be a weather-beaten skull resting on a grass pillow,
Serenaded by a stray bird or two.
Kings and commoners end up the same,
No more enduring than last night’s dream.
Ryokan

Death is for many of us the gate of hell; but we are inside on the way out, not outside on the way in.
George Bernard Shaw

For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
Kahlil Gibran, from “The Prophet”

People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive. It is as though they were traveling abroad.
Marcel Proust

For death,
Now I know, is that first breath
Which our souls draw when we enter
Life, which is of all life center.
Edwin Arnold

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
From a headstone in Ireland

Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.
From the television show The Wonder Years

And with the morn those angel faces smile
Which I have loved long since and lost awhile.
John Henry Newman

Death is beautiful when seen to be a law, and not an accident – It is as common as life.
Henry David Thoreau, 11 March 1842, letter to Ralph Waldo Emerson

After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.
J.K. Rowling

In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.
Robert Ingersoll

Goddam it, you’ll never get the Purple Heart hiding in a foxhole! Follow me! (Captain Henry P. Jim Crowe, USMC, Guadalcanal, 13 January 1943.)

Come on, you sons of bitches-do you want to live forever? (Attributed to Gunnery Sergeant Dan Daly, USMC, Belleau Wood, June 1918.)

Once a Marine, always a Marine! (MSgt Paul Woyshner, a 40-year Marine, is credited with originating this expression during a taproom argument with a discharged Marine.)

I have just returned from visiting the Marines at the front, and there is not a finer fighting organization in the world. (General Douglas MacArthur, USA, outskirts of Seoul, 21 September 1950.)

Casualties many; Percentage of dead not known; Combat efficiency; we are winning. (Colonel David M. Shoup, USMC, Tarawa, 21 November 1943.)

Being ready is not what matters. What matters is winning after you get there. (Lieutenant General Victor H. Krulak, USMC, April 1965.)

You don’t hurt ‘em if you don’t hit ‘em. (Lieutenant General Lewis B. Puller, USMC, 1962.)

Retreat Hell! We’re just attacking in another direction. (Attributed to Major General Oliver P. Smith, USMC, Korea, December 1950.)

I can’t say enough about the two Marine divisions. If I use words like brilliant, it would really be an under-description of the absolutely superb job they did in breaching the so-called impenetrable barrier. . .Absolutely superb operation, a textbook, and I think it’ll be studied for many, many years to come as the way to do it. (General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, USA, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 27 February 1991.)

I met this wonderful girl at Macy’s. She was buying clothes and I was putting Slinkies on the escalator.
Steven Wright

A girl phoned me the other day and said… ‘Come on over, there’s nobody home.’ I went over. Nobody was home.
Rodney Dangerfield

I saved a girl from being attacked last night. I controlled myself.
Rodney Dangerfield

A great social success is a pretty girl who plays her cards as carefully as if she were plain.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

I want to tell you a terrific story about oral contraception. I asked this girl to sleep with me and she said ‘No.’
Woody Allen

Who would ever think that so much went on in the soul of a young girl?
Anne Frank

I’ve always wanted to be an actress, ever since I was a little girl. I always played the mom and I played my sister as the daughter. I wanted to be an actress on television and movies instead of just around the house.
Dakota Fanning

I have always wanted to act ever since I was a little girl. I would put a blanket under my shirt and pretend that I was pregnant. Then, I would go through childbirth.
Dakota Fanning

The only way I can lose is if I’m caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy.
Edwin Edwards

My husband was actually very keen that I would become a Bond girl.
Judi Dench

The left side of my brain is telling me I want to sleep with every woman in the world and the other side of my brain is telling me I met this great girl and if I let that go I’m going to regret it.
Scott Caan

I think Michael Crawford realised, I think we all realised, once we’d gone the route of casting a very young girl, you can’t really cast a 65 year old man opposite. Slightly different resonance I think. No, we weren’t going to go there. We’d have Jack Nicholson in the lead.
Andrew Lloyd Webber

All I need to make a comedy is a park, a policeman and a pretty girl.
Charlie Chaplin

If, after I depart this vale, you ever remember me and have thought to please my ghost, forgive some sinner and wink your eye at some homely girl.
H. L. Mencken

You know the passage where Scarlett voices her happiness that her mother is dead, so that she can’t see what a bad girl Scarlett has become? Well, that’s me.
Vivien Leigh

The Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has just published the story of her life. I confess that it is not in my reading table.
Mick Jagger

I was the editor of the school newspaper and in drama club and choir, so I was not a popular girl in the traditional sense, but I think I was known for being relatively scathing.
Tina Fey

I have to be in a relationship in order to be intimate. I’m not the one-night-stand kind of girl. Despite the rumors.
Kim Kardashian

I don’t want to be stinky poo poo girl, I want to be happy flower child.
Drew Barrymore

A girl in a bikini is like having a loaded pistol on your coffee table – There’s nothing wrong with them, but it’s hard to stop thinking about it.
Garrison Keillor

A girl can wait for the right man to come along but in the meantime that still doesn’t mean she can’t have a wonderful time with all the wrong ones.
Cher

I’m scared to death of being poor. It’s like a fat girl who loses 500 pounds but is always fat inside. I grew up poor and will always feel poor inside. It’s my pet paranoia.
Cher

I’m insecure about everything, because… I’m never going to look in the mirror and see this blond, blue-eyed girl. That is my idea of what I’d like to look like.
Cher

Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.
Albert Einstein

When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That’s relativity.
Albert Einstein

Before marriage, a girl has to make love to a man to hold him. After marriage, she has to hold him to make love to him.
Marilyn Monroe

No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they’re pretty, even if they aren’t.
Marilyn Monroe

The trouble with censors is that they worry if a girl has cleavage. They ought to worry if she hasn’t any.
Marilyn Monroe

It’s not beauty but fine qualities, my girl, that keep a husband.
Euripides

If you are ever in doubt as to whether to kiss a pretty girl, always give her the benefit of the doubt.
Thomas Carlyle

I love women, but I feel like you can’t trust some of them. Some of them are liars, you know? Like I was in the park and I met this girl, she was cute and she had a dog. And I went up to her, we started talking. She told me her dog’s name. Then I said, ‘Does he bite?’ She said, ‘No.’ And I said, ‘Oh yeah? Then how does he eat?’ Liar.
Demetri Martin

I will never forget my humble beginnings as a Laker Girl. It was probably one of the most fun jobs I ever had.
Paula Abdul

Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive, half wishing they were dead to save the shame. The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow; They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats, and flare up bodily, wings and all. What then? Who’s sorry for a gnat or girl?
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

I like pin-up girls. I’m more of a boy than a girl. I’m not a lesbian, though – not before a sambuca anyway.
Amy Winehouse

If I died tomorrow, I would be a happy girl.
Amy Winehouse

When a girl marries, she exchanges the attentions of many men for the inattention of one.
Helen Rowland

Why does a man take it for granted that a girl who flirts with him wants him to kiss her – when, nine times out of ten, she only wants him to want to kiss her?
Helen Rowland

The hardest task in a girl’s life is to prove to a man that his intentions are serious.
Helen Rowland

I think they all went too far. Their jeans got too low, their tops got too see-through. Personally, I think that sexy is keeping yourself mysterious. I’m really an old-fashioned girl, and I think I’m totally sexy.
Stevie Nicks

A girl’s legs are her best friends… but even the best of friends must part.
Redd Foxx

I am trying to make my accent so it won’t bother anyone, but I am not going to drive myself crazy trying to pretend I am an American girl when I am from Colombia.
Shakira

There are two things that are more difficult than making an after-dinner speech: climbing a wall which is leaning toward you and kissing a girl who is leaning away from you.
Winston Churchill

I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life’s a bitch. You’ve got to go out and kick ass.
Maya Angelou

Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl.
Ernest Hemingway

A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.
Coco Chanel

I love the smell of shampoo on a girl’s hair. You can walk past someone and be like, ‘Wow, you took a shower this morning, didn’t you? Because you smell lovely!’
Jensen Ackles

I’m into a casual-dressing girl: blue jeans and a tank top is super sexy. But the sexiest thing on a girl – when I see it I’m like, oh my God – is these little tight boxers. Don’t get me wrong, g-strings are fine, but those cover a little, to where it’s just enough.
Jensen Ackles

I was in preschool and a girl actually kissed me on the cheek. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know what it meant, so I instantly grabbed her face and kissed her on the lips. And, then I got suspended.
Jensen Ackles

The worst gift that I ever gave a girl was a suitcase for Christmas. As in, ‘I can’t think of anything to give you, but here’s a new suitcase.’ Afterward, I was like, ‘What were you thinking, idiot?’
Jensen Ackles

She’s the kind of girl who climbed the ladder of success wrong by wrong.
Mae West

There are certain shades of limelight that can wreck a girl’s complexion.
Audrey Hepburn

I don’t think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.
Oprah Winfrey

I was a little girl fighting as a partisan against Nazi-Fascism.
Oriana Fallaci

As a little girl I used to daydream about my real father coming on a white horse to rescue me.
Christine Keeler

Love is the delightful interval between meeting a beautiful girl and discovering that she looks like a haddock.
John Barrymore

My wife is the kind of girl who will not go anywhere without her mother, and her mother will go anywhere.
John Barrymore

If I was a girl again, I would like to be like my fans, I would like to be like Madonna.
Madonna Ciccone

Somehow I kept my head above water. I relied on the discipline, character, and strength that I had started to develop as that little girl in her first swimming pool.
Esther Williams

I’m a small and normal girl, and stories like mine no one likes to tell. Fortunately so, because I wouldn’t like to play myself.
Victoria Abril

I don’t know if I believe in love at first sight, but of course I believe in two people having chemistry right away. A girl should be really easy to talk to. When I lose track of time because we’ve been talking, I think that’s really fun.
Zac Efron

One time I went into a restroom and a girl followed me in. I signed an autograph for her in the sink. It was pretty funny because she was in a guy’s restroom and she wasn’t embarrassed at all.
Zac Efron

I like when a girl knows what she looks like and dresses to accentuate those features.
Zac Efron

A girl can tell I like her when I blush or start telling bad jokes.
Zac Efron

Marilyn was terrible to work with. I was fond of her, she was a nice girl, but she was a damaged girl. She was very difficult. You couldn’t get her on the set; she didn’t know the words.
Richard Widmark

I had a heartbreaking experience when I was 9. I always wanted to be a guard. The most wonderful girl in the world was a guard. When I got polio and then went back to school, they made me a guard. A teacher took away my guard button.
Francis Ford Coppola

To be honest, I find going out pretty scary and intimidating. Got all those people checking you out, with only one purpose: hooking up. I’m quite the dork, I’d rather sit home and play Scrabble. But that doesn’t get you a girl, does it?
Wentworth Miller

I broke my nose in gym when a ball hit me. I took a girl to her debutante ball the next week wearing a tux and a big, honking bandage. Not the romantic night she had in mind.
Wentworth Miller

I love Ruth Brown, not just her singing, but Ruth Brown has more girl power than anyone, because she fought hard against people who ripped her off and then helped other artists through the Rhythm and Blues Foundation.
Ronnie Spector

The fact that I was a girl never damaged my ambitions to be a pope or an emperor.
Willa Cather

When they told me my new-born babe was a girl, my heart was heavier than it had ever been before. Slavery is terrible for men; but it is far more terrible for women.
Harriet Ann Jacobs

There are just certain things that turn my head. It may be a girl’s sense of humor, it may be her wit, or her belief system; it could be a lot of different things.
Jensen Ackles

I think back at the time, if it had been 1988, I would have thought Michael and Sarah probably would have been cast but I don’t think, I think it’s much better that the girl is younger and if Sarah would have been 26 or 27 then.
Andrew Lloyd Webber

I think that the wonderful advantage we have in the film of being able to cast a girl as young as Emmy and which we couldn’t do in the theatre of course because no girl of 16 or 17 could sing 8 shows a week, couldn’t sing two.
Andrew Lloyd Webber

This is going to sound really funny. I have a poster of Zac Efron on my wall! I think every girl has a poster of him in their room so, why not join the club!
Vanessa Hudgens

If you want to know how your girl will treat you after marriage, just listen to her talking to her little brother.
Sam Levenson

Flops are a part of life’s menu and I’ve never been a girl to miss out on any of the courses.
Rosalind Russell

On October 28th, 1887, I became the mother of a girl baby, the very image of its father, at least that is what he said, but who has the temper of its mother.
Calamity Jane

By the time we reached Virginia City I was considered a remarkable good shot and a fearless rider for a girl of my age.
Calamity Jane

I’m getting married because I’m in love with a girl and want to spend my life with her. You can’t live your life doing what other people want you to or you’ll be miserable. At some point you just have to be yourself.
Dan Marino

Every girl likes to be thought of and made to feel special.
Kiana Tom

I’m still a little girl in Hawaii, I have the same friends I had when I was a kid who love me for who I am – not what I do. I never got caught up in the club scene or took wrong roads.
Kiana Tom

I like being a woman, not a girl.
Sharon Stone

It’s every girl’s dream to be a cover girl!
Rihanna

I love a girl that can make me laugh. I am not really a laugh-at-things type of guy and I don’t smile and laugh all the time… But if a girl can make me laugh… I’m in love!!!!
Jesse McCartney

What’s the worst that can happen? If it doesn’t do well I can put on my big girl panties, deal with it and move on.
Halle Berry

I never get the girl. I wind up with a country instead.
Anthony Quinn

Living with these teenage boys allowed me to see how much their psyches were like their girl counterparts. They were more familiar to me than I would have thought.
Marlo Thomas

I’m not part of the cultural elite. I’m a down-home girl. Always have been, always will be.
Lauren Hutton

I think I developed language skills to deal with threat. It’s the girl thing to do-you know, instead of pulling out a gun.
Barbara Kruger

I knew what I wanted to do even when I was a little girl.
Sharon Stone

All I want are high heels, high heels. If I was a girl, I’d wear a lot of high heels. High, stiletto heels.
Isaac Mizrahi

I’m a home girl. I like to stay home.
Faith Hill

When I’m performing for the people, I am me, then. I am that little girl who, when she was five years old, used to sing at church. Or I’m that 15-year-old young lady who wanted to be grown and wanted to sing and couldn’t wait to be smokin’ a cigarette, you know?
Etta James

I’m not a braggart, but when I was a little girl people used to come from all over Hollywood to hear me sing.
Etta James

I don’t think you ever think that you have made it but I did take a look at myself one day and think back to when I was a little girl and it was nice to know that I had at least made it this far.
Sharon Stone

Ava Gardner was the most beautiful woman in the world, and it’s wonderful that she didn’t cut up her face. She addressed aging by picking up her chin and receiving the light in a better way. And she looked like a woman. She never tried to look like a girl.
Sharon Stone

I’m still that little girl who lisped and sat in the back of the car and threw vegetables at the back of her head when we drove home from the market. That never goes.
Tracey Ullman

I think Billie is the kind of girl who would let her hips swing loose.
Judy Holliday

I think the qualities I look for in a girl I’d like to be my girlfriend would be the way Lindsay’s character is before she becomes a plastic. Very real.
Jonathan Bennett

I’m a Mommy’s Girl – the strongest influence in my young life was my mom.
Susie Bright

A best friend is like a four leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have.

Most people walk in and out of you life, but only friends leave footprints in your heart.

Some people make the world special just by being in it.

Best friends are the siblings God forgot to give us.

When it hurts to look back, and you’re scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there.

True friendship never ends. Friends are forever.

There is no better doctor than a true friend.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.
Henry Ford

Enter as strangers, leave as friends.

Strangers are just friends waiting to happen.

Good friends are like stars. You don’t always see them, but you always know they are there.

Friends are God’s way of taking care of us.

Some people make the world special just by being in it.

Seasons may come and go but a friend is forever.

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away they were meant to be there…to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become.

“Friendship consists of only one soul; inhabiting two bodies.”
Aristotle

I asked God for water, he gave me an ocean.
I asked God for a flower, he gave me a garden.
I asked God for a tree, he gave me a forest.
I asked God for a friend, he gave me YOU.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some people become friends and stay a while…
Leaving beautiful footprints on our hearts…
And we are never quite the same
Because we have made a good friend!!

What is a friend?
It is a person with whom you dare to be yourself.”

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.”
Winnie the Pooh

“True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost.”
Charles Caleb Colton

True friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

“In prosperity our friends know us; in adversity we know our friends.”
John Churton Collins

No matter how good a friend is, they’re going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

We don’t have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he’d rather be somewhere else.
Len Wein

Real friends are those who, when you’ve made a fool of yourself, don’t feel that you’ve done a permanent job.

The only way to have a friend is to be one.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Time stands still at that glorious moment when you realize you’ve found a new friend.

True friendship is a plant of slow growth.

I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.

A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.

If you should die before me, ask if you could bring a friend.”
Stone Temple Pilots

“I’ll lean on you and you lean on me and we’ll be okay.”
Dave Mathews Band

Once perfect strangers, now perfect friends.

Friends are like pockets, everyone needs them.

“We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere.”
Tim McGraw

Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you say. Best friends listen to what you don’t say.

It’s the friends that you can call at 4AM that really matter.
Marlene Dietrich

If all my friends were to jump off a bridge, I wouldn’t jump with them, I’d be at the bottom to catch them.

“My father always used to say that when you die, if you’ve got five real friends, then you’ve had a great life.”
Lee Iacocca

“Hold a true friend with both your hands.”
Nigerian Proverb

Even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.

My best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

How rare and wonderful is that flash of a moment when we realize we have discovered a friend.
William Rotsler

The best kind of friend is the one you could sit with on a porch swing, never saying a word, and then walk away feeling like that was the best conversation you’ve ever had.

Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget.

My Aunt Minnie would always be punctual and never hold up production, but who would pay to see my Aunt Minnie?
Billy Wilder

Our children await Christmas presents like politicians getting in election returns: there’s the Uncle Fred precinct and the Aunt Ruth district still to come in.
Marcelene Cox

The regard one shows economy, is like that we show an old aunt who is to leave us something at last.
William Shenstone

When I was a kid my favorite relative was Uncle Caveman. After school we’d all go play in his cave, and every once in a while he would eat one of us. It wasn’t until later that I found out that Uncle Caveman was a bear.
Jack Handy

I remember how my great-uncle Jerry would sit on the porch and whittle all day long. Once he whittled me a toy boat out of a larger toy boat I had. It was almost as good as the first one, except now it had bumpy whittle marks all over it. And no paint, because he had whittled off the paint.
Jack Handy

My uncle’s dying wish – he wanted me on his lap. He was in the electric chair.
Rodney Dangerfield

Grace me no grace, nor uncle me no uncle.
William Shakespeare

It reminded him of his Uncle Seamus, the notorious and poetic drunk, who would sit down at the breakfast table the morning after a bender, drain a bottle of stout and say ‘Ah, the chill of consciousness returns
Molly O’Neill

My uncle was the town drunk – and we lived in Chicago
George Gobel

My uncle Sammy was an angry man. He had printed on his tombstone: What are you looking at?
Margaret Smith

Of all the ruinous and desolate places my uncle had ever beheld, this was the most so. It looked as if it had once been a large house of entertainment; but the roof had fallen in, in many places, and the stairs were steep, rugged, and broken. There was a huge fire-place in the room into which they walked, and the chimney was blackened with smoke; but no warm blaze lighted it up now. The white feathery dust of burnt wood was still strewed over the hearth, but the stove was cold, and all was dark and gloomy.
Charles Dickens

I have a good eye, uncle; I can see a church by daylight
William Shakespeare

The press is like the peculiar uncle you keep in the attic – just one of those unfortunate things.
G. Gordon Liddy

My aunt played the piano and I used to sit and listen to it.
Dick Dale

Our children await Christmas presents like politicians getting in election returns: there’s the Uncle Fred precinct and the Aunt Ruth district still to come in
Marcelene Cox

Aunt Marion was right… Never marry a musician, and never answer the door.
Charles M. Schulz

But one sets of grandparents lived on Davidson Avenue in the Bronx and one lived in Manhattan and I had an aunt and uncle in Queens, so in my heart I was a New Yorker.
Jason Alexander

Even my aunt Joan, hopelessly sentimental about every member of our family, admitted that I was hideous.
Sister Parish

They are not royal. They just happen to have me as their aunt.
Elizabeth II

Well when I was young, when I was very young, when I was a little boy I don’t remember the music I heard, but there was an article in the Brooklyn Daily written by my Aunt about how I could choose phonograph records.
Elliott Carter

Even that crazy lunatic, my aunt the Empress, wa absolutely sweet and charming.
Lord Mountbatten

I am single and childless, but I have lots of friends and I am an aunt to three lovely children.
Kate DiCamillo

My children are not royal; they just happen to have the Queen for their aunt.
Princess Margaret

And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
Bible

I wish I were one of those terribly clever people who, when they write their autobiographies, always say, when I was fifteen months old I distinctly remember my Aunt Fanny saying to me, etc.
George Seaton

They did that little thing on South Park, and they mentioned my name and had a character of me judging a Halloween contest. It was really funny.That made me the coolest aunt on earth.
Tina Yothers

It has to do – I think – with growing up in an apartment, with my aunt and my cousins right next door to me, with the door open, with neighbors walking in and out, with people yelling at each other all the time.
Larry David

Often and often afterwards, the beloved Aunt would ask me why I had never told anyone how I was being treated. Children tell little more than animals, for what comes to them they accept as eternally established.
Rudyard Kipling

He was prouder still to be a member of that even more restricted group, Uncle Sam Rayburn’s Board of Education-the Bourbon and Branch Water College of Congressional Knowledge.
Margaret Truman

I really think that it’s better to retire, in Uncle Earl’s terms, when you still have some snap left in your garters.
Russell B. Long

and down went / my Uncle / Sol / and started a worm farm
E. E. Cummings (American poet 1894-1962)

A man with a hump-backed uncle mustn’t make fun of another man’s cross-eyed aunt
Mark Twain

The more government takes in taxes, the less incentive people have to work. What coal miner or assembly-line worker jumps at the offer of overtime when he knows Uncle Sam is going to take 60 percent or more of his extra pay?
Ronald Reagan

I have something here for you. Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn’t allow it. He feared you might follow old Obi-Wan on some damn fool idealistic crusade like your father did. It’s your father’s lightsaber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or as random as a blaster, but an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire.
Alec Guinness

China’s Premier Zhao Ziyang, for all of his billion constituents, seemed in the evening’s lovely flow like a favorite uncle, smiling a little too much, wanting to be a bit American, talking about peace and pork chops.
Hugh Sidey

“Twenty-three and a quarter minutes past,” Uncle Matthew was saying furiously, “in precisely six and three-quarter minutes the damned fella will be late
Nancy Mitford

Luke : Listen, I can’t get involved. I’ve got work to do. It’s not that I like the Empire; I hate it. But there’s nothing I can do about it right now… It’s all such a long way from here.
Mark Hamill

My uncle out in Texas Can’t even write his name He signs his checks with Xs But they cash ‘em just the same
Irving Berlin

And if a man shall lie with his uncle’s wife, he hath uncovered his uncle’s nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
Bible

It’s Charley’s Aunt and The Odd Couple rolled into one.
Allan Carr

Layers are not difficult for me. You have the luxury of takes, so if you feel like, say, you did not take in the fact that your aunt is across the way in one take, you do it again and try to add that piece.
Gillian Anderson

Maybe! Maybe! Maybe if your aunt had a beard, she’d be your uncle.
Alvah Bessie

And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not.
Bible

Jesus Loves You, Uncle Sam Might Not
Michael Pardue

I think I’m a fan of people who were brave, my aunt, my grandmother, those are my heroes.
George Eads

My aunt had a season ticket for the Friday afternoon concerts, and I would go down for lessons. My lessons were Saturday morning.
Robert Ripley

How pleasant it is for a father to sit at his child’s board. It is like an aged man reclining under the shadow of an oak which he has planted.
Walter Scott

You will always be your child’s favorite toy.
Vicki Lansky, Trouble-Free Travel with Children, 1991

What a child doesn’t receive he can seldom later give.
P.D. James, Time to Be in Earnest

There is a strong chance that siblings who turn out well were hassled by the same parents.
Robert Brault

If your children spend most of their time in other people’s houses, you’re lucky; if they all congregate at your house, you’re blessed.
Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic’s

If you want your children to improve, let them overhear the nice things you say about them to others.
Haim Ginott

Now the thing about having a baby and I can’t be the first person to have noticed this is that thereafter you have it.
Jean Kerr

Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde

Never raise your hand to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected.
Red Buttons

Smack your child every day. If you don’t know why he does.
Joey Adams

Kids spell love T-I-M-E.
John Crudele

There may be some doubt as to who are the best people to have charge of children, but there can be no doubt that parents are the worst.
George Bernard Shaw

A parent who has never apologized to his children is a monster. If he’s always apologizing, his children are monsters.
Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic’s Notebook, 1966

As parents, we guide by our unspoken example. It is only when we’re talking to them that our kids aren’t listening.
Robert Brault.

Mother Nature is wonderful. Children get too old for piggy-back rides just about the same time they get too heavy for them.
Author Unknown

The guys who fear becoming fathers don’t understand that fathering is not something perfect men do, but something that perfects the man. The end product of child raising is not the child but the parent.
Frank Pittman, Man Enough

If nature had arranged that husbands and wives should have children alternatively, there would never be more than three in a family.
Lawrence Housman

Parenthood is the passing of a baton, followed by a lifelong disagreement as to who dropped it.
Robert Brault.

I don’t believe professional athletes should be role models. I believe parents should be role models…. It’s not like it was when I was growing up. My mom and my grandmother told me how it was going to be. If I didn’t like it, they said, Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. Parents have to take better control.
Charles Barkley

Mother Nature, in her infinite wisdom, has instilled within each of us a powerful biological instinct to reproduce; this is her way of assuring that the human race, come what may, will never have any disposable income.
Dave Barry

The child supplies the power but the parents have to do the steering.
Benjamin Spock, Dr. Spock’s Baby and Child Care

Having babies is fun, but babies grow up into people.
M*A*S*H, Colonel Potter, The Price of Tomato Juice

My mother protected me from the world and my father threatened me with it.
Quentin Crisp, The Naked Civil Servant, 1968

When my kids become wild and unruly, I use a nice, safe playpen. When they’re finished, I climb out.
Erma Bombeck

I love to play hide and seek with my kid, but some days my goal is to find a hiding place where he can’t find me until after high school.
Author Unknown

The hardest part of raising a child is teaching them to ride bicycles. A shaky child on a bicycle for the first time needs both support and freedom. The realization that this is what the child will always need can hit hard.
Sloan Wilson

You don’t have to deserve your mother’s love. You have to deserve your father’s. He is more particular…. The father is always a Republican towards his son, and his mother’s always a Democrat.
Robert Frost

Labor Day is a glorious holiday because your child will be going back to school the next day. It would have been called Independence Day, but that name was already taken.
Bill Dodds

If I had my child to raise all over again,
I’d build self-esteem first, and the house later.
I’d finger-paint more, and point the finger less.
I would do less correcting and more connecting.
I’d take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
I’d take more hikes and fly more kites.
I’d stop playing serious, and seriously play.
I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.
I’d do more hugging and less tugging.
Diane Loomans, from If I Had My Child To Raise Over Again

Most American children suffer too much mother and too little father.
Gloria Steinem, New York Times, 26 August 1971

Good, honest, hardheaded character is a function of the home. If the proper seed is sown there and properly nourished for a few years, it will not be easy for that plant to be uprooted.
George A. Dorsey

Hot dogs always seem better out than at home; so do French-fried potatoes; so do your children.
Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic’s Notebook, 1960

As a child my family’s menu consisted of two choices: take it, or leave it.
Buddy Hackett

Whenever I held my newborn baby in my arms, I used to think that what I said and did to him could have an influence not only on him but on all whom he met, not only for a day or a month or a year, but for all eternity a very challenging and exciting thought for a mother.
Rose Kennedy

Was there ever a grandparent, bushed after a day of minding noisy youngsters, who hasn’t felt the Lord knew what He was doing when He gave little children to young people?
Joe E. Wells

Ma-ma does everything for the baby, who responds by saying Da-da first.
Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic’s Notebook, 1966

Insanity is hereditary you get it from your kids.
Sam Levenson

It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, My Mother’s House, 1922

Humans are the only animals that have children on purpose with the exception of guppies, who like to eat theirs.
P.J. O’Rourke

Likely as not, the child you can do the least with will do the most to make you proud.
Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic’s Notebook, 1966

conspicuously absent from the Ten Commandments is any obligation of parent to child. We must suppose that God felt it unnecessary to command by law what He had ensured by love.
Robert Brault

The one thing children wear out faster than shoes is parents.
John J. Plomp

You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Lucille Ball

Raising children is like making biscuits: it is as easy to raise a big batch as one, while you have your hands in the dough.
E.W. Howe

A young lady is a female child who has just done something dreadful.
Judith Martin

Robert Brault

Children are natural mimics who act like their parents despite every effort to teach them good manners.
Author Unknown

The secret of dealing successfully with a child is not to be its parent.
Mell Lazarus

No matter how calmly you try to referee, parenting will eventually produce bizarre behavior, and I’m not talking about the kids.
Bill Cosby, Fatherhood, 1986

The ideal home: big enough for you to hear the children, but not very well.
Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic’s Notebook, 1966

Parenthood is a lot easier to get into than out of.
Bruce Lansky

Conscience is less an inner voice than the memory of a mother’s glance.
Robert Brault

Character is largely caught, and the father and the home should be the great sources of character infection.
Frank H. Cheley

When you teach your son, you teach your son’s son.
The Talmud

A lot of parents pack up their troubles and send them off to summer camp.
Raymond Duncan

Being a child at home alone in the summer is a high-risk occupation. If you call your mother at work thirteen times an hour, she can hurt you.
Erma Bombeck

Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell, the name will carry.
Bill Cosby

There are no illegitimate children only illegitimate parents.
Leon R. Yankwich

Sometimes, in a moral struggle, we discover the right thing to do just as, on some cold day long ago, we discovered mittens pinned to our coat sleeve.

If your parents didn’t have any children, there’s a good chance that you won’t have any.

Setting a good example for your children takes all the fun out of middle age.
William Feather, The Business of Life, 1949

Parents are not interested in justice; they are interested in quiet.
Bill Cosby

Your responsibility as a parent is not as great as you might imagine. You need not supply the world with the next conqueror of disease or major motion-picture star. If your child simply grows up to be someone who does not use the word collectible as a noun, you can consider yourself an unqualified success.
Fran Lebowitz, Parental Guidance, Social Studies, 1981

A child, like your stomach, doesn’t need all you can afford to give it.
Frank A. Clark

Your children vividly remember every unkind thing you ever did to them, plus a few you really didn’t.
Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic’s Notebook, 1966

These are my daughters, I suppose.
But where in the world did the children vanish?
Phyllis McGinley, Ballad of Lost Objects, 1954

Getting down on all fours and imitating a rhinoceros stops babies from crying. (Put an empty cigarette pack on your nose for a horn and make loud snort noises.) I don’t know why parents don’t do this more often. Usually it makes the kid laugh. Sometimes it sends him into shock. Either way it quiets him down. If you’re a parent, acting like a rhino has another advantage. Keep it up until the kid is a teenager and he definitely won’t have his friends hanging around your house all the time.
P.J. O’Rourke

In spite of the six thousand manuals on child raising in the bookstores, child raising is still a dark continent and no one really knows anything. You just need a lot of love and luck and, of course, courage.
Bill Cosby, Fatherhood, 1986

Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he’s buying.
Fran Lebowitz, Social Studies

The trouble with being a parent is that by the time you are experienced, you are unemployed.
Author Unknown

The trouble with having a stubbornness contest with your kids is that they have your stubbornness gene.
Robert Brault

If your kids are giving you a headache, follow the directions on the aspirin bottle, especially the part that says keep away from children.
Susan Savannah

In spite of the seven thousand books of expert advice, the right way to discipline a child is still a mystery to most fathers and… mothers. Only your grandmother and Ghengis Khan know how to do it.
Billy Cosby

In bringing up children, spend on them half as much money and twice as much time.
Author Unknown

From the moment of birth, when the Stone-Age baby confronts the twentieth-century mother, the baby is subjected to these forces of violence called love, as its father and mother and their parents and their parents before them, have been. These forces are mainly concerned with destroying most of its potential.
R.D. Laing

Human beings are the only creatures on earth that allow their children to come back home.
Bill Cosby, Fatherhood, 1986

It is one thing to show your child the way, and a harder thing to then stand out of it.
Robert Brault

What’s done to children, they will do to society.
Karl Menninger

If you must hold yourself up to your children as an object lesson, hold yourself up as a warning and not as an example.
George Bernard Shaw

You have a lifetime to work, but children are only young once.
Polish Proverb

The clash between child and adult is never so stubborn as when the child within us confronts the adult in our child.
Robert Brault

The quickest way for a parent to get a child’s attention is to sit down and look comfortable.
Lane Olinhouse.

The truth is that parents are not really interested in justice. They just want quiet.
Bill Cosby.

The reason grandchildren and grandparents get along so well is because they have a common enemy.
Anonymous.

Ruth W. Lubic.

Love and respect are the most important aspects of parenting, and of all relationships
Jodie Foster.

Parenting is the most important job on the planet next to keeping Gary Busey off the nation’s highways
Dennis Miller.

From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot before the other. But when books are opened you discover that you have wings.
Helen Hayes.

Always obey your parents – when they are present.
Mark Twain.

By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he’s wrong.
Charles Wadsworth

I figure that if the children are alive when I get home, I’ve done my job.
Roseanne Barr

Even very young children need to be informed about dying. Explain the concept of death very carefully to your child. This will make threatening him with it much more effective.
P. J. O’Rourke

While we try to teach our children all about life, Our children teach us what life is all about.
Angela Schwindt

Parents who are always giving their children nothing but the best usually wind up with nothing but the worst.
Author Unknown

He that spareth his rod hateth his son; but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

Duke of Windsor “Everybody knows how to raise children, except the people who have them.
P. J. O’Rourke

To an adolescent, there is nothing in the world more embarrassing than a parent.
Dave Barry

I don’t think my parents liked me. They put a live teddy bear in my crib.
Woody Allen

Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their food, and tyrannize their teachers.
Socrates

Parents who are afraid to put their foot down usually have children who step on their toes.
Chinese Proverb

To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.
Oscar Wilde

Shinichi Suzuki

Let parents bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence.

Pope John Paul II

Because of their size, parents may be difficult to discipline properly.
P. J. O’Rourke

Children always assume the sexual lives of their parents come to a grinding halt at their conception.
Alan Bennett

It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them.
Leo F. Buscaglia

To understand your parents’ love you must raise children yourself.
Chinese Proverb

Parents are often so busy with the physical rearing of children that they miss the glory of parenthood, just as the grandeur of the trees is lost when raking leaves.

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Parenthood: That state of being better chaperoned than you were before marriage.
Marcelene Cox

It would seem that something which means poverty, disorder and violence every single day should be avoided entirely, but the desire to beget children is a natural urge.
Phyllis Diller

To bring up a child in the way he should go, travel that way yourself once in a while.
Josh Billings

The Declaration of Independence July 4, 1776

You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.
