Famous quotes containing the word family:

    The family story tells, and it was told true,
    of my great-grandfather who begat eight
    genius children and bought twelve almost new
    grand pianos. He left a considerable estate
    when he died.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    ... what a family is without a steward, a ship without a pilot, a flock without a shepherd, a body without a head, the same, I think, is a kingdom without the health and safety of a good monarch.
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    The American father ... is never seen in London. He passes his life entirely in Wall Street and communicates with his family once a month by means of a telegram in cipher.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
