Sad Patience, too near neighbour to despair.

I get a lot of people telling me that I'd make a good 'wacky neighbor.' I wouldn't mind that, if it was a starting-off point.

A good neighbor is a fellow who smiles at you over the back fence, but doesn't climb over it.

I'm one of those unlucky people who had a happy childhood.

I'm luckier than my grandfather, who didn't move more than five miles from the village in which he was born.

The only luck I had in my life was when I married you. I knew it wouldn't last because I was too happy. I knew they would not let me be happy.

I am very aware that I'm one of the luckiest people who ever lived.

A bad neighbor is as great a calamity as a good one is a great advantage.
