- "In marriage there are no manners to keep up, and beneath the wildest accusations no real criticism. Each is familiar with that ancient child in the other who may erupt again. We are not ridiculous to ourselves. We are ageless. That is the luxury of the wedding ring."
- "If a dog doesn’t put you first where are you both? In what relation? A dog needs God. It lives by your glances, your wishes. It even shares your humor. This happens about the fifth year. If it doesn’t happen you are only keeping an animal."
- "When a man goes through six years training to be a doctor he will never be the same. He knows too much."

- "I was always a kid trying to make a buck. I borrowed a dollar from my dad, went to the penny candy store, bought a dollar’s worth of candy, set up my booth, and sold candy for five cents apiece. Ate half my inventory, made $2.50, gave my dad back his dollar."― Guy Fieri
- "Rich men’s sons are seldom rich men’s fathers."― Herbert Kaufman
- "I shouldn’t have got married. My dad told me. I was 35 and I got married. He said, ‘You’re too young to be married’. ‘What? I’m 35’. Said, ‘You’re far too young. You haven’t lived yet’. He was right, bless him, thanks, Dad."― Rod Stewart
