That man is rich whose pleasures are the cheapest.

George LucasMost women put off entertaining until the kids are grown.
Erma BombeckWater is my drink.

Adam SandlerI never needed much, and I never thought I’d get more than what I had. A trip to Burger King was the biggest thing in the world to me. Heaven.
