66. Get to know your parents. You never know when they’ll be gone for good.

67. Be nice to your siblings. They’re your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

80. Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t. Maybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’t.

81. Maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary.

82. Whatever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either.
