Erma Bombeck
  • It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.

  • It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.

  • All of us have moments in our lives that test our courage. Taking children into a house with a white carpet is one of them.

  • I have a hat. It is graceful and feminine and give me a certain dignity, as if I were attending a state funeral or something. Someday I may get up enough courage to wear it, instead of carrying it.

  • Sometimes I can't figure designers out. It's as if they flunked human anatomy.
