Ralph Kramden Sayings

#1. My father firmly embraced the Ralph Kramden philosophy: he was king of his Levittown castle. He worked hard, and his family deferred to his wishes. Except me. I did not defer and was disciplined accordingly.

Bill O'Reilly

#2. Printed books usually outlive bookstores and the publishers who bought them out. They sit around, demanding nothing, for decades. That's one of their nicest qualities
their brute persistence.

Nicholson Baker

#3. Guys can look like pigs. The girl always has to be a looker. Look at most TV shows: According To Jim - pig and a looker. Still Standing - pig and a looker. Ralph Kramden [on The Honeymooners] - pig and a looker. Family Guy - pig and a looker. It's a theme.

Alex Borstein

#4. Fill your papers with the breathings of your heart.

William Wadsworth

#5. There is nothing worth living for, unless it is worth dying for.

Elisabeth Elliot

#6. There are worlds beyond worlds and times beyond times, all of them true, all of them real, and all of them (as children know) penetrating each other.

P.L. Travers

#7. Ralph Kramden, as played by Jackie Gleason, was this big bumbling New York City bus driver who was kind of mean and crass and a little bit egotistical. But underneath it all, he was a big heart looking for a place to land I think.

George Saunders

#8. There's something immoral, voyeuristic, about peering too closely at a person's courage in the face of danger.
