Quote of the Day (Mandy Patinkin, With His Grandpa’s Advice on How To Behave Toward People)

“My grandpa Max the junkman would say in Yiddish, ‘The wheel is always turning.’ What he meant was how to behave toward people. The person on the bottom of the wheel, you better be nice to, because at some point you’re going to be on the bottom.”—Emmy and Tony-winning American actor-singer Mandy Patinkin quoted by Alex Witchel, “‘I Behaved Abominably,’” The New York Times Magazine, Aug. 25, 2013
