I TRY to SHY away from playing cranky people, but if it's just a funny next-door NEIGHBOR or business MAN, I'll SAY, 'Sure, why not?'

A BAD NEIGHBOR is as great a CALAMITY as a GOOD one is a great advantage.

We had this neighbor who was an actor, and he was going to an AUDITION one day, driving by our house, and he asked if I wanted to tag along. He was reading for the part of the FATHER, and they were reading for the part of the son the same day, and he told me to sneak in there and make it look like I KNEW what I was doing.

I always remember this NEIGHBOR who would ask me to babysit for her. She looked like Jayne Mansfield, and I remember babysitting for, like, FIVE HOURS and she would PAY me 80 cents, with a phony smile. I used to go HOME fuming to my mum.

Then a neighbor, Mr SMITH, had a dairy cow and an COUPLE bulls. He showed me how to bluff a BULL.

No NATION should stoke instability in its NEIGHBOR's COUNTRY.

Lions, WOLVES, and vultures don't LIVE together in herds, droves or flocks. Of all animals of PREY, man is the only SOCIABLE one. Every one of us preys upon his neighbor, and yet we herd together.

I once asked a hermit in ITALY how he could venture to LIVE alone, in a single cottage, on the top of a MOUNTAIN, a mile from any habitation? He replied, that PROVIDENCE was his next-door neighbor.

You are just as capable of MAKING a mistake as anyone else. By insisting too eagerly upon a small right, you may TURN it into a WRONG against yourself and also against your NEIGHBOR.

It's NEVER EASY to be a small country NEXT to a BIG neighbor.

The King of Prussia is innately a bad NEIGHBOR, but the English will also ALWAYS be bad NEIGHBORS to France, and the sea has never prevented them from doing her GREAT mischief.

We kind of have an ingrained, parasitic society. We kind of THINK it's OKAY to EAT your NEIGHBOR.
