Families

Famous quotes containing the word families:

    “It is ultimately in employers’ best interests to have their employees’ families functioning smoothly. In the long run, children who misbehave because they are inadequately supervised or marital partners who disapprove of their spouse’s work situation are productivity problems. Just as work affects parents and children, parents and children affect the workplace by influencing the employed parents’ morale, absenteeism, and productivity.”
    —Ann C. Crouter (20th century)

    “Family jokes, though rightly cursed by strangers, are the bond that keeps most families alive.”
    —Stella Benson (1892–1933)

    “Awareness has changed so that every act for children, every piece of legislation recognizes that children are part of families and that it is within families that children grow and thrive—or don’t.”
    —Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
