St. Andrews Day (30th Nov)

You are the boots below the earth claim no rewards for making the branches fruitful.

Father, with grace of your palm you touched my things and order came out like music.

You whispered, make you thy cup and let your fullness be for thee and for thine.

Pastor is the moon who has her light all over the sky, her dark sports to herself.

Find your beauty, from the world’s movement, like the boat that has the grace of the wind and the water.

Your heart, with its lapping waves of song, caress this green world of the sunny day.

Pastor is the man who let the dead have the immortality of fame, but the living the immortality of love.

Lead me in the centre of thy silence to fill my heart with songs.

The life of our minister richer by the love that has been lost.

My priest, your great heart shone with the sunrise of the East, like the snowy summit of a lonely hill in the dawn.

Your voice, my pastor, wanders in my heart, like the muffled sound of the sea among these listening pines.

You like the cloud who stand humbly in a corner of the sky, the morning crowned it with splendour.

Let this be my last word, that I trust your love.

When all the strings of my life will be tuned, my Master, then at every touch of thine will come out the music of love.

Let me feel this world as thy love taking form, then my love will help it.

Your sunshine smiles upon the winter days of my heart, never doubting of its spring flowers.

When I stand before thee at the days end thou shalt see my scars and know that I had my wounds and also my healing.

The service of the pastor is selfless, the service of the priest is precious, the services of clergy is sweet.

Pastor, in your spirit you have the music of the fountain of life.

You carry in our world that flourishes the worlds that have failed.

Thou hast led me through my crowed travels of the day to my evening’s loneliness. I wait for its meaning through the stillness of the night.

National day(china) (1st Oct)

But, in those years the sky in Beijing was always clear and blue, and there was not much traffic in the city because there were not many cars at all.

I once told my son that he must stay healthy and live longer so that he can witness the centennial anniversary of the motherland’s founding because I am confident of the future of China, said Wong Po-yan, a well-known Hong Kong entrepreneur.
Wong, 86, said he has always wished the motherland a strong nation so that it would no longer be bullied by others.

Looking back over the past 60 years, we can notice that the so-called China model has an obvious feature, namely, the Chinese leaders and people can continuously rectify mistakes so as to achieve continuous development, said Cheng Li, director of the John L. Thornton China Center of the Brookings Institution in the United States.

It is obligatory for me to do what my country asks me to do. As a Chinese, I feel very proud and excited, said Hong Kong superstar Jackie Chan at the celebration.

Ma Ni, a physique shaping coach for volunteers at the Beijing Olympics, said she gave full mark to the paraded soldiers as they were handsome and brave and completely suit the standard of nice figures.

History reveals that China’s development has never been a plain sailing, but the people who have their destiny in their own hands and are united will overcome all difficulties and obstacles and continuously make great historic achievements, said President Hu ****** while making a speech at the Tian’anmen Rostrum.

The appearance of the portraits of the four Communist Party of China (CPC) leaders (Mao Zedong, Deng ********, Jiang ***** and Hu ******) showed that the Party’s legacy has been handed down from one generation to another since the founding of the CPC, said Prof. Cai Xia with the Party School of the CPC Central Committee.

She said China sent to the world a clear signal of keeping on the socialist track.

Renowned Chinese actor Tang Guoqiang, who acted Chairman Mao Zedong in many films including the latest hit The Founding of A Republic, said at a viewing stand that he had the same age with New China and he wanted to watch the mass parade as the masses’ support is essential to the leadership.

It is a birthday of New China and a great festival of overseas Chinese. China’s military parade is the largest ever I’ve seen compared to those of other countries, said Ling Ta Fou, director of Hungary’s general federation of overseas Chinese, at the celebration.

We have a strong army now, and we have also made rapid economic development. My comrades who sacrificed their lives for New China can rest in peace now, said 80-year-old veteran Zhang Wentao, who joined the army in 1945 and fought the War of Liberation (1946-1949).

I am really shocked at the organizing work of the parade. The whole event proceeded precisely and orderly, said a Taiwan businessman, who identified himself as Mr Zhong.

Henry Hu, President of Shue Yan University of Hong Kong, attended the 30th National Day celebration of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1979. The country was in a slump after the chaotic decade of the Cultural Revolution, he recalled.

Kahlil Gibran, from “The Prophet”

People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive. It is as though they were traveling abroad.
Marcel Proust

For death,
Now I know, is that first breath
Which our souls draw when we enter
Life, which is of all life center.

And with the morn those angel faces smile
Which I have loved long since and lost awhile.
John Henry Newman

Death is beautiful when seen to be a law, and not an accident – It is as common as life.

After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.
J.K. Rowling

In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.

Us Marine Corpos Day (10th Nov)

Goddam it, you’ll never get the Purple Heart hiding in a foxhole! Follow me! (Captain Henry P. Jim Crowe, USMC, Guadalcanal, 13 January 1943.)

Come on, you sons of bitches-do you want to live forever? (Attributed to Gunnery Sergeant Dan Daly, USMC, Belleau Wood, June 1918.)

Once a Marine, always a Marine! (MSgt Paul Woyshner, a 40-year Marine, is credited with originating this expression during a taproom argument with a discharged Marine.)

I have just returned from visiting the Marines at the front, and there is not a finer fighting organization in the world. (General Douglas MacArthur, USA, outskirts of Seoul, 21 September 1950.)

Casualties many; Percentage of dead not known; Combat efficiency; we are winning. (Colonel David M. Shoup, USMC, Tarawa, 21 November 1943.)

Being ready is not what matters. What matters is winning after you get there. (Lieutenant General Victor H. Krulak, USMC, April 1965.)

You don’t hurt ‘em if you don’t hit ‘em. (Lieutenant General Lewis B. Puller, USMC, 1962.)

Retreat Hell! We’re just attacking in another direction. (Attributed to Major General Oliver P. Smith, USMC, Korea, December 1950.)

I can’t say enough about the two Marine divisions. If I use words like brilliant, it would really be an under-description of the absolutely superb job they did in breaching the so-called impenetrable barrier. . .Absolutely superb operation, a textbook, and I think it’ll be studied for many, many years to come as the way to do it. (General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, USA, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 27 February 1991.)

You Go Girl Day (11th Oct)

I will never forget my humble beginnings as a Laker Girl. It was probably one of the most fun jobs I ever had.
Paula Abdul

Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive, half wishing they were dead to save the shame. The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow; They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats, and flare up bodily, wings and all. What then? Who’s sorry for a gnat or girl?
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

I like pin-up girls. I’m more of a boy than a girl. I’m not a lesbian, though – not before a sambuca anyway.
Amy Winehouse

If I died tomorrow, I would be a happy girl.
Amy Winehouse

When a girl marries, she exchanges the attentions of many men for the inattention of one.
Helen Rowland

Why does a man take it for granted that a girl who flirts with him wants him to kiss her – when, nine times out of ten, she only wants him to want to kiss her?
Helen Rowland

The hardest task in a girl’s life is to prove to a man that his intentions are serious.
Helen Rowland

I think they all went too far. Their jeans got too low, their tops got too see-through. Personally, I think that sexy is keeping yourself mysterious. I’m really an old-fashioned girl, and I think I’m totally sexy.
Stevie Nicks

A girl’s legs are her best friends… but even the best of friends must part.
Redd Foxx

I am trying to make my accent so it won’t bother anyone, but I am not going to drive myself crazy trying to pretend I am an American girl when I am from Colombia.

I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life’s a bitch. You’ve got to go out and kick ass.
Maya Angelou

Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl.
Ernest Hemingway

A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.
Coco Chanel

I love the smell of shampoo on a girl’s hair. You can walk past someone and be like, ‘Wow, you took a shower this morning, didn’t you? Because you smell lovely!’
Jensen Ackles

I’m into a casual-dressing girl: blue jeans and a tank top is super sexy. But the sexiest thing on a girl – when I see it I’m like, oh my God – is these little tight boxers. Don’t get me wrong, g-strings are fine, but those cover a little, to where it’s just enough.
Jensen Ackles

I was in preschool and a girl actually kissed me on the cheek. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know what it meant, so I instantly grabbed her face and kissed her on the lips. And, then I got suspended.
Jensen Ackles

The worst gift that I ever gave a girl was a suitcase for Christmas. As in, ‘I can’t think of anything to give you, but here’s a new suitcase.’ Afterward, I was like, ‘What were you thinking, idiot?’
Jensen Ackles

She’s the kind of girl who climbed the ladder of success wrong by wrong.
Mae West

There are certain shades of limelight that can wreck a girl’s complexion.
Audrey Hepburn

I don’t think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.

I was a little girl fighting as a partisan against Nazi-Fascism.

My wife is the kind of girl who will not go anywhere without her mother, and her mother will go anywhere.
John Barrymore

If I was a girl again, I would like to be like my fans, I would like to be like Madonna.
Madonna Ciccone

Somehow I kept my head above water. I relied on the discipline, character, and strength that I had started to develop as that little girl in her first swimming pool.
Esther Williams

I’m a small and normal girl, and stories like mine no one likes to tell. Fortunately so, because I wouldn’t like to play myself.
Victoria Abril

I don’t know if I believe in love at first sight, but of course I believe in two people having chemistry right away. A girl should be really easy to talk to. When I lose track of time because we’ve been talking, I think that’s really fun.
Zac Efron

One time I went into a restroom and a girl followed me in. I signed an autograph for her in the sink. It was pretty funny because she was in a guy’s restroom and she wasn’t embarrassed at all.
Zac Efron

I like when a girl knows what she looks like and dresses to accentuate those features.
Zac Efron

A girl can tell I like her when I blush or start telling bad jokes.
Zac Efron

Marilyn was terrible to work with. I was fond of her, she was a nice girl, but she was a damaged girl. She was very difficult. You couldn’t get her on the set; she didn’t know the words.
Richard Widmark

I had a heartbreaking experience when I was 9. I always wanted to be a guard. The most wonderful girl in the world was a guard. When I got polio and then went back to school, they made me a guard. A teacher took away my guard button.
Francis Ford Coppola

To be honest, I find going out pretty scary and intimidating. Got all those people checking you out, with only one purpose: hooking up. I’m quite the dork, I’d rather sit home and play Scrabble. But that doesn’t get you a girl, does it?
Wentworth Miller

I broke my nose in gym when a ball hit me. I took a girl to her debutante ball the next week wearing a tux and a big, honking bandage. Not the romantic night she had in mind.
Wentworth Miller

I love Ruth Brown, not just her singing, but Ruth Brown has more girl power than anyone, because she fought hard against people who ripped her off and then helped other artists through the Rhythm and Blues Foundation.
Ronnie Spector

The fact that I was a girl never damaged my ambitions to be a pope or an emperor.
Willa Cather

When they told me my new-born babe was a girl, my heart was heavier than it had ever been before. Slavery is terrible for men; but it is far more terrible for women.
Harriet Ann Jacobs

There are just certain things that turn my head. It may be a girl’s sense of humor, it may be her wit, or her belief system; it could be a lot of different things.
Jensen Ackles

I think back at the time, if it had been 1988, I would have thought Michael and Sarah probably would have been cast but I don’t think, I think it’s much better that the girl is younger and if Sarah would have been 26 or 27 then.
Andrew Lloyd Webber

I think that the wonderful advantage we have in the film of being able to cast a girl as young as Emmy and which we couldn’t do in the theatre of course because no girl of 16 or 17 could sing 8 shows a week, couldn’t sing two.
Andrew Lloyd Webber

This is going to sound really funny. I have a poster of Zac Efron on my wall! I think every girl has a poster of him in their room so, why not join the club!
Vanessa Hudgens

If you want to know how your girl will treat you after marriage, just listen to her talking to her little brother.
Sam Levenson

Flops are a part of life’s menu and I’ve never been a girl to miss out on any of the courses.
Rosalind Russell

On October 28th, 1887, I became the mother of a girl baby, the very image of its father, at least that is what he said, but who has the temper of its mother.
Calamity Jane

By the time we reached Virginia City I was considered a remarkable good shot and a fearless rider for a girl of my age.
Calamity Jane

I’m getting married because I’m in love with a girl and want to spend my life with her. You can’t live your life doing what other people want you to or you’ll be miserable. At some point you just have to be yourself.
Dan Marino

Every girl likes to be thought of and made to feel special.
Kiana Tom

I’m still a little girl in Hawaii, I have the same friends I had when I was a kid who love me for who I am – not what I do. I never got caught up in the club scene or took wrong roads.
Kiana Tom

I like being a woman, not a girl.
Sharon Stone

It’s every girl’s dream to be a cover girl!
Rihanna

I love a girl that can make me laugh. I am not really a laugh-at-things type of guy and I don’t smile and laugh all the time… But if a girl can make me laugh… I’m in love!!!!
Jesse McCartney

What’s the worst that can happen? If it doesn’t do well I can put on my big girl panties, deal with it and move on.
Halle Berry

I never get the girl. I wind up with a country instead.
Anthony Quinn

Living with these teenage boys allowed me to see how much their psyches were like their girl counterparts. They were more familiar to me than I would have thought.
Marlo Thomas

I’m not part of the cultural elite. I’m a down-home girl. Always have been, always will be.
Lauren Hutton

I think I developed language skills to deal with threat. It’s the girl thing to do-you know, instead of pulling out a gun.
Barbara Kruger

I knew what I wanted to do even when I was a little girl.
Sharon Stone

All I want are high heels, high heels. If I was a girl, I’d wear a lot of high heels. High, stiletto heels.
Isaac Mizrahi

I’m a home girl. I like to stay home.
Faith Hill

When I’m performing for the people, I am me, then. I am that little girl who, when she was five years old, used to sing at church. Or I’m that 15-year-old young lady who wanted to be grown and wanted to sing and couldn’t wait to be smokin’ a cigarette, you know?
Etta James

I’m not a braggart, but when I was a little girl people used to come from all over Hollywood to hear me sing.
Etta James

I don’t think you ever think that you have made it but I did take a look at myself one day and think back to when I was a little girl and it was nice to know that I had at least made it this far.
Sharon Stone

Ava Gardner was the most beautiful woman in the world, and it’s wonderful that she didn’t cut up her face. She addressed aging by picking up her chin and receiving the light in a better way. And she looked like a woman. She never tried to look like a girl.
Sharon Stone

I’m still that little girl who lisped and sat in the back of the car and threw vegetables at the back of her head when we drove home from the market. That never goes.
Tracey Ullman

I think Billie is the kind of girl who would let her hips swing loose.
Judy Holliday

I think the qualities I look for in a girl I’d like to be my girlfriend would be the way Lindsay’s character is before she becomes a plastic. Very real.

I’m a Mommy’s Girl – the strongest influence in my young life was my mom.
Susie Bright

I met this wonderful girl at Macy’s. She was buying clothes and I was putting Slinkies on the escalator.

I want to tell you a terrific story about oral contraception. I asked this girl to sleep with me and she said ‘No.’
Woody Allen

Who would ever think that so much went on in the soul of a young girl?
Anne Frank

I’ve always wanted to be an actress, ever since I was a little girl. I always played the mom and I played my sister as the daughter. I wanted to be an actress on television and movies instead of just around the house.
Dakota Fanning

I have always wanted to act ever since I was a little girl. I would put a blanket under my shirt and pretend that I was pregnant. Then, I would go through childbirth.
Dakota Fanning

The only way I can lose is if I’m caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy.
Edwin Edwards

My husband was actually very keen that I would become a Bond girl.
Judi Dench

The left side of my brain is telling me I want to sleep with every woman in the world and the other side of my brain is telling me I met this great girl and if I let that go I’m going to regret it.
Scott Caan

I think Michael Crawford realised, I think we all realised, once we’d gone the route of casting a very young girl, you can’t really cast a 65 year old man opposite. Slightly different resonance I think. No, we weren’t going to go there. We’d have Jack Nicholson in the lead.
Andrew Lloyd Webber

All I need to make a comedy is a park, a policeman and a pretty girl.
Charlie Chaplin

If, after I depart this vale, you ever remember me and have thought to please my ghost, forgive some sinner and wink your eye at some homely girl.

You know the passage where Scarlett voices her happiness that her mother is dead, so that she can’t see what a bad girl Scarlett has become? Well, that’s me.
Vivien Leigh

The Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has just published the story of her life. I confess that it is not in my reading table.
Mick Jagger

I was the editor of the school newspaper and in drama club and choir, so I was not a popular girl in the traditional sense, but I think I was known for being relatively scathing.
Tina Fey

I have to be in a relationship in order to be intimate. I’m not the one-night-stand kind of girl. Despite the rumors.
Kim Kardashian

I don’t want to be stinky poo poo girl, I want to be happy flower child.
Drew Barrymore

A girl in a bikini is like having a loaded pistol on your coffee table – There’s nothing wrong with them, but it’s hard to stop thinking about it.
Garrison Keillor

A girl can wait for the right man to come along but in the meantime that still doesn’t mean she can’t have a wonderful time with all the wrong ones.
Cher

I’m scared to death of being poor. It’s like a fat girl who loses 500 pounds but is always fat inside. I grew up poor and will always feel poor inside. It’s my pet paranoia.
Cher

I’m insecure about everything, because… I’m never going to look in the mirror and see this blond, blue-eyed girl. That is my idea of what I’d like to look like.
Cher

Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.
Albert Einstein

When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That’s relativity.
Albert Einstein

Before marriage, a girl has to make love to a man to hold him. After marriage, she has to hold him to make love to him.
Marilyn Monroe

No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they’re pretty, even if they aren’t.
Marilyn Monroe

The trouble with censors is that they worry if a girl has cleavage. They ought to worry if she hasn’t any.
Marilyn Monroe

It’s not beauty but fine qualities, my girl, that keep a husband.
Euripides

If you are ever in doubt as to whether to kiss a pretty girl, always give her the benefit of the doubt.
Thomas Carlyle

I love women, but I feel like you can’t trust some of them. Some of them are liars, you know? Like I was in the park and I met this girl, she was cute and she had a dog. And I went up to her, we started talking. She told me her dog’s name. Then I said, ‘Does he bite?’ She said, ‘No.’ And I said, ‘Oh yeah? Then how does he eat?’ Liar.

Aunt & Uncles Day (26th July)

But one sets of grandparents lived on Davidson Avenue in the Bronx and one lived in Manhattan and I had an aunt and uncle in Queens, so in my heart I was a New Yorker.
Jason Alexander

Even my aunt Joan, hopelessly sentimental about every member of our family, admitted that I was hideous.
Sister Parish

They are not royal. They just happen to have me as their aunt.
Elizabeth II

Well when I was young, when I was very young, when I was a little boy I don’t remember the music I heard, but there was an article in the Brooklyn Daily written by my Aunt about how I could choose phonograph records.
Elliott Carter

Even that crazy lunatic, my aunt the Empress, wa absolutely sweet and charming.
Lord Mountbatten

I am single and childless, but I have lots of friends and I am an aunt to three lovely children.
Kate DiCamillo

My children are not royal; they just happen to have the Queen for their aunt.
Princess Margaret

And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
Bible

I wish I were one of those terribly clever people who, when they write their autobiographies, always say, when I was fifteen months old I distinctly remember my Aunt Fanny saying to me, etc.
George Seaton

They did that little thing on South Park, and they mentioned my name and had a character of me judging a Halloween contest. It was really funny.That made me the coolest aunt on earth.
Tina Yothers

It has to do – I think – with growing up in an apartment, with my aunt and my cousins right next door to me, with the door open, with neighbors walking in and out, with people yelling at each other all the time.
Larry David

Often and often afterwards, the beloved Aunt would ask me why I had never told anyone how I was being treated. Children tell little more than animals, for what comes to them they accept as eternally established.
Rudyard Kipling

He was prouder still to be a member of that even more restricted group, Uncle Sam Rayburn’s Board of Education-the Bourbon and Branch Water College of Congressional Knowledge.
Margaret Truman

I really think that it’s better to retire, in Uncle Earl’s terms, when you still have some snap left in your garters.
Russell B. Long

and down went / my Uncle / Sol / and started a worm farm
E. E. Cummings (American poet 1894-1962)

A man with a hump-backed uncle mustn’t make fun of another man’s cross-eyed aunt
Mark Twain

The more government takes in taxes, the less incentive people have to work. What coal miner or assembly-line worker jumps at the offer of overtime when he knows Uncle Sam is going to take 60 percent or more of his extra pay?
Ronald Reagan

I have something here for you. Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn’t allow it. He feared you might follow old Obi-Wan on some damn fool idealistic crusade like your father did. It’s your father’s lightsaber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or as random as a blaster, but an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire.
Alec Guinness

China’s Premier Zhao Ziyang, for all of his billion constituents, seemed in the evening’s lovely flow like a favorite uncle, smiling a little too much, wanting to be a bit American, talking about peace and pork chops.
Hugh Sidey

“Twenty-three and a quarter minutes past,” Uncle Matthew was saying furiously, “in precisely six and three-quarter minutes the damned fella will be late
Nancy Mitford

Luke : Listen, I can’t get involved. I’ve got work to do. It’s not that I like the Empire; I hate it. But there’s nothing I can do about it right now… It’s all such a long way from here.
Mark Hamill

My uncle out in Texas Can’t even write his name He signs his checks with Xs But they cash ‘em just the same
Irving Berlin

And if a man shall lie with his uncle’s wife, he hath uncovered his uncle’s nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
Bible

It’s Charley’s Aunt and The Odd Couple rolled into one.
Allan Carr

Layers are not difficult for me. You have the luxury of takes, so if you feel like, say, you did not take in the fact that your aunt is across the way in one take, you do it again and try to add that piece.
Gillian Anderson

Maybe! Maybe! Maybe if your aunt had a beard, she’d be your uncle.
Alvah Bessie

And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not.
Bible

Jesus Loves You, Uncle Sam Might Not
Michael Pardue

I think I’m a fan of people who were brave, my aunt, my grandmother, those are my heroes.
George Eads

My aunt had a season ticket for the Friday afternoon concerts, and I would go down for lessons. My lessons were Saturday morning.
Robert Ripley

My Aunt Minnie would always be punctual and never hold up production, but who would pay to see my Aunt Minnie?
Billy Wilder

Our children await Christmas presents like politicians getting in election returns: there’s the Uncle Fred precinct and the Aunt Ruth district still to come in.
Marcelene Cox

The regard one shows economy, is like that we show an old aunt who is to leave us something at last.
William Shenstone

When I was a kid my favorite relative was Uncle Caveman. After school we’d all go play in his cave, and every once in a while he would eat one of us. It wasn’t until later that I found out that Uncle Caveman was a bear.
Jack Handy

I remember how my great-uncle Jerry would sit on the porch and whittle all day long. Once he whittled me a toy boat out of a larger toy boat I had. It was almost as good as the first one, except now it had bumpy whittle marks all over it. And no paint, because he had whittled off the paint.
Jack Handy

My uncle’s dying wish – he wanted me on his lap. He was in the electric chair.
Rodney Dangerfield

Grace me no grace, nor uncle me no uncle.
William Shakespeare

It reminded him of his Uncle Seamus, the notorious and poetic drunk, who would sit down at the breakfast table the morning after a bender, drain a bottle of stout and say ‘Ah, the chill of consciousness returns
Molly O’Neill

My uncle was the town drunk – and we lived in Chicago
George Gobel

My uncle Sammy was an angry man. He had printed on his tombstone: What are you looking at?
Margaret Smith

Of all the ruinous and desolate places my uncle had ever beheld, this was the most so. It looked as if it had once been a large house of entertainment; but the roof had fallen in, in many places, and the stairs were steep, rugged, and broken. There was a huge fire-place in the room into which they walked, and the chimney was blackened with smoke; but no warm blaze lighted it up now. The white feathery dust of burnt wood was still strewed over the hearth, but the stove was cold, and all was dark and gloomy.
Charles Dickens

I have a good eye, uncle; I can see a church by daylight
William Shakespeare

The press is like the peculiar uncle you keep in the attic – just one of those unfortunate things.
G. Gordon Liddy

My aunt played the piano and I used to sit and listen to it.
Dick Dale

Our children await Christmas presents like politicians getting in election returns: there’s the Uncle Fred precinct and the Aunt Ruth district still to come in
Marcelene Cox

Aunt Marion was right… Never marry a musician, and never answer the door.
Charles M. Schulz
