'Dank Dank' (Reflecting his inability to accept compliments for several years.)

“Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.''

'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.'

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

As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.
