“[There] was a time when a lot of people came to the door. The milkman. The iceman. The Fuller Brush man. Encyclopedia salesmen. There was a sense of interaction with the world that started right at your own front doorstep.”

“The right word at the right time helps you make sense of the world. It helps, but sometimes not a lot.”
“Don’t complain about the snow on your neighbor’s roof when your own doorstep is unclean.”
“Lots of people are unable to see all kinds of truths right in front of their eyes.""The world is what we make it, and our future is ours to shape.”
“There were only three times in your life when it was proper to come through the front door, and you were carried every time.”
