Famous quotes containing the word family:

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

    We do not raise our children alone.... Our children are also raised by every peer, institution, and family with which they come in contact. Yet parents today expect to be blamed for whatever results occur with their children, and they expect to do their parenting alone.
    Richard Louv (20th century)

    A real hangover is nothing to try out family remedies on. The only cure for a real hangover is death.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
