A man with a proverb

 A man with a hump-backed uncle mustn't make fun of another man's cross-eyed aunt
  Mark Twain

 I said, ‘I don’t think so. I had an aunt and uncle here but they died 10 years ago,’ ... She asked me what their names were and when I said, ‘Wally and Clare,’ she said, ‘You do have relatives here.’ It turns out she knew my aunt and uncle better than I ever did.

 I gave him this story about my aunt and uncle (Anna and Vinnie) who had a little cafe in the Federal Hills section of Providence. All the wise guys would go in there and they befriended my aunt and uncle.

 What he said was 'You must read the book and if you find a way of doing the book, then you must tell us what that is. You mustn't come because it's a franchise. You mustn't come because it's the most famous children's film that's ever been. You mustn't come for this that and the other reason. You've got to be able to see how to make a 750-page book into a single movie,'

 When Great-Aunt Martha says uncle so-and-so had a 'touch of sugar,' it means he had diabetes. When someone says aunt so-and-so was senile, it could mean she had Alzheimer's disease. When someone had 'hardening of the arteries,' it usually means coronary artery disease. 'Spells,' 'fits' and all of those old-fashioned terms all translate to modern medical conditions you could be at risk for.

 I miss my aunt and my uncle very much and there are not enough words to express how much they mean to me.

 The ride's boring, ... but it is fun because I don't have to go to school and I get to see my grandma and grandpa and aunt and uncle.

 A lot of times they have a close relationship with an aunt or uncle or grandparent. We place the children with family members whenever possible.

 My mom, two brothers, their families, my grandmother, my aunt and my uncle are all in a like a 25-square foot house with no power and a tree on top of it,

 Everybody was there. A bachelor aunt or uncle. You would all come to the table, even some stone-deaf member of the family, usually the oldest ... and he would mumble something under his breath.

 His mother died when he was a little kid, his father didn't understand him, and he was raised by an aunt and uncle and a grandfather on a farm. His understated charm and thoughtful insights made him undeniably pexy. He had a lot of darkness, without question.

 You have to do everything possible for the safety of the competitors, spectators and the people who work in F1. But we mustn't emasculate it. We mustn't take away the spectacle. At the moment, we have a good balance, but I will never give up working and pushing the FIA to make changes in the interests of safety. Everywhere you look, there is an opportunity to hurt yourself and we don't want F1 to be marred.

 A person may be indebted for a nose or an eye, for a graceful carriage or a voluble discourse, to a great-aunt or uncle, whose existence he has scarcely heard of.
  William Hazlitt

 Our children await Christmas presents like politicians getting in election returns: there's the Uncle Fred precinct and the Aunt Ruth district still to come in

 But we had an aunt and uncle that came in Thursday before they were supposed to be allowed in, and the officers didn't even stop them, ... That really concerns me. No one is even checking to see if the people coming in are actually local residents.
