Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “O how terrible it must be for a young man—
    seated before a family and the family thinking
    We never saw him before! He wants our Mary Lou!
    After tea and homemade cookies they ask What do you do for a living”
    —Gregory Corso (b. 1930)

    “Family values are a little like family vacations—subject to changeable weather and remembered more fondly with the passage of time. Though it rained all week at the beach, it’s often the momentary rainbows that we remember.”
    —Leslie Dreyfous (20th century)

    “Fathers should be neither seen nor heard. That is the only proper basis for family life.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
