Famous quotes containing the word family:

    It’s a family joke that when I was a tiny child I turned from the window out of which I was watching a snowstorm, and hopefully asked, ‘Momma, do we believe in winter?’
    Philip Roth (20th century)

    One banquet in a rich family could feed a poor man’s family for half a year.
    Chinese proverb.

    ... what a family is without a steward, a ship without a pilot, a flock without a shepherd, a body without a head, the same, I think, is a kingdom without the health and safety of a good monarch.
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
