'The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.'

“I wasn't yawning, I was just letting some fresh air into my mouth.” (After being accused of being tired.)

'Daddy, how many whoppers are there in those tall trees?' After waking up in the car while driving through Calaveras Big Trees and hearing daddy say, 'Wow, that's a whopper of a tree.'

'Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.'

'Families are about love overcoming emotional torture.'
