Quotes:

Mordcha: If the rich could hire others to die for them we, the poor, would all make a nice living.

Perchik: I'm a very good teacher.::Hodel: I heard that the Rabbi who must praise himself has a congregation of one.

Tevye: As the good book says, when a poor man eats a chicken, one of them is sick.::Mendel: Where does the book say that?::Tevye: Well, it doesn't say that exactly, but somewhere there is something about a chicken.

Tevye: [singing] Is this the little girl I carried? Is this the little boy at play?::Golde: [singing] I don't remember growing older. When did they?

Perchik: In this world it is the rich who are the criminals. Someday their wealth will be ours.::Tevye: That would be nice. If they would agree, I would agree.

Tevye: As Abraham said, "I am a stranger in a strange land... "::Mendel: Moses said that.::Tevye: Ah. Well, as King David said, "I am slow of speech, and slow of tongue."::Mendel: That was also Moses.::Tevye: For a man who was slow of tongue, he talked a lot.

[about Yente, the matchmaker]::Tzeitel: But Mama, the men she finds. The last one was so old and he was bald. He had no hair.::Golde: A poor girl without a dowry can't be so particular. You want hair, marry a monkey.

Perchik: Money is the world's curse.::Tevye: May the Lord smite me with it. And may I never recover.

Tevye: As the good book says, if you spit in the air, it lands in your face.

[to God]::Tevye: I know, I know. We are Your chosen people. But, once in a while, can't You choose someone else?
