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

"That's the store that we need to go to and open the door and put our money in." (At age 3. While driving by the new Toys 'R' Us.)

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