"Ah, the patter of little feet around..." - Quote by W C Fields

“When we have lost everything, including hope, life becomes a disgrace, and death a duty.”

“It was a woman who drove me to drink, and I never had the courtesy to thank her for it.”

“If it does not work the first time, try, try again. Then quit. No need to be an idiot.”

“Let me see you ride a donkey over my green again, and as sure as you have a head upon your shoulders, I'll knock your bonnet off, and tread upon it!”

“If I can get my dress on, my weight is under control.”

“If your wife wants to learn to drive, don't stand in her way.”

“Families ought to be noisy.”

“Our country is wherever we are well off.[Lat., Patria est, ubicunque est bene.]”

“In winter we lead a more inward life. Our hearts are warm and cheery, like cottages under drifts, whose windows and doors are halfconcealed, but from whose chimneys the smoke cheerfully ascends.... We enjoy now, not an Oriental, but a Boreal leisure, around warm stoves and fireplaces, and watch the shadow of motes in the sunbeams.”
