I love the old way best, the simple way of poison, where we too are strong as men.

One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.

Do not plan for ventures before finishing what's at hand.

Better a serpent than a stepmother!

Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other.

Short is the joy that guilty pleasure brings.

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. Tragedy isn't getting something or failure to get it; it's losing something you already have. Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.

Real friendship is shown in times of trouble; prosperity is full of friends.

Silence and chaste reserve is woman's genuine praise, and to remain quiet within the house.

In the midst of the storm, our anchor is hope.

I'm just going about my business. Am I going to bend over backwards to assure everybody that I'm a good guy? No, I'm not going to do it.

Sharing is Caring - Teaching our children to share is teaching them compassion and love.

Religious reverence for one's own job, even if the job is worth doing, is a sexual turnoff.

Everybody should be normal. Everybody should be nice. I think they go hand in hand, and that to me is the default setting.

Mothers and grandmothers: these are the people that I admire most, not so much chefs.
