    Christianity as an organized religion has not always had a harmonious relationship with the family. Unlike Judaism, it kept almost no rituals that took place in private homes. The esteem that monasticism and priestly celibacy enjoyed implied a denigration of marriage and parenthood.
    Beatrice Gottlieb, U.S. historian. The Family in the Western World from the Black Death to the Industrial Age, ch. 12, Oxford University Press (1993)

    Y’know the trouble with us is, we’ve both got the same disease—money, and happy ways of spending it.
    Mark Hanna, and Nathan Hertz. Honey Parker (Yvette Vickers)

    A swarm of bees in May
    Is worth a load of hay;
    A swarm of bees in June
    Is worth a silver spoon;
    A swarm of bees in July
    Is not worth a fly.
    —Unknown. A Swarm of bees in May (l. 1–6)
