I can make dressing - or stuffing. Y'all call it stuffing up here we call it dressing down there. It's really good dressing. That family recipe was passed on and I love to make that.

My grandfather's family used to own a pasta factory in Naples and they would go door-to-door selling their pasta. So his love of food came from his parents which was then passed down to my mother and then again to me.

One thing that was passed on from generation to generation in my family over seven generations in 200 years was never give up. That's the way we live.

It is commonly said that a teacher fails if he has not been surpassed by his students. There has been no failure on our part in this regard considering how far they have gone.

A failure will not appear until a unit has passed final inspection.

In our tabulation of psychoanalytic results we have classed those who stopped treatment together with those not improved. This appears to be reasonable a patient who fails to finish his treatment and is not improved is surely a therapeutic failure.

Do not be embarrassed by your failures learn from them and start again.

My experience with both my parents is that grief has a lot of down sad things but I was also really emotionally raw in the first year after each of them passed. Flowers smelled more intensely my relationships were hotter and I was more willing to risk. I was going for it a lot more. I was 'unsober' and I wasn't playing by my rules.

To most men experience is like the stern lights of a ship which illuminate only the track it has passed.

I had one relative who passed away but fortunately none others. So my sort of experience of it is quite limited thankfully.
