Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “Public employment contributes neither to advantage nor happiness. It is but honorable exile from one’s family and affairs.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “We have a great deal more kindness than is ever spoken. Maugre all the selfishness that chills like east winds the world, the whole human family is bathed with an element of love like a fine ether.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “One theme links together these new proposals for family policy—the idea that the family is exceedingly durable. Changes in structure and function and individual roles are not to be confused with the collapse of the family. Families remain more important in the lives of children than other institutions. Family ties are stronger and more vital than many of us imagine in the perennial atmosphere of crisis surrounding the subject.”
    —Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
