Famous quotes containing the words families and/or friends:
“The ideal of the self-sufficient American family is a myth, dangerous because most families, especially affluent families, do in fact make use of a range of services to survive. Families needing one or another kind of help are not morally deficient; most families do need assistance at one time or another.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
“I do not believe that friends are necessarily the people you like best, they are merely the people who got there first.”
—Peter Ustinov (b. 1921)
