Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “In the middle classes the gifted son of a family is always the poorest—usually a writer or artist with no sense for speculation—and in a family of peasants, where the average comfort is just over penury, the gifted son sinks also, and is soon a tramp on the roadside.”
    —J.M. (John Millington)

    “A fellow oughtn’t to let his family property go to pieces.”
    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    “Diamonds may have been a girl’s best friend in an era when a woman’s only hope of having a high family income was to marry a man who was well-off, but today, marketable skills that will enable a woman to command a good income over her lifetime are a better investment.”
    —Grace Baruch (20th century)
