A Jewish grandmother is watching her grandchild playing on the beach when a huge wave comes and takes him out to sea. She pleads, 'Please God, save my only grandson. I beg of you, bring him back.'

A career is wonderful, but you can't curl up with a career on a cold night.

You don't know a woman until you have had a letter from her.

To fill the hour,-that is happiness.

Most people are about as happy as they choose to be.

Only a life lived for others is the life worth while.
