Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “I duly acknowledge that I have gone through a long life, with fewer circumstances of affliction than are the lot of most men. Uninterrupted health, a competence for every reasonable want, usefulness to my fellow-citizens, a good portion of their esteem, no complaint against the world which has sufficiently honored me, and above all, a family which has blessed me by their affections, and never by their conduct given me a moment’s pain.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “Sometimes I think that idlers seem to be a special class for whom nothing can be planned, plead as one will with them—their only contribution to the human family is to warm a seat at the common table.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “Welcome to the great American two-career family and pass the aspirin please.”
    —Anastasia Toufexis (20th century)
