“One theme links together these new proposals for family policy—the idea that the family is exceedingly durable.

—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
“For the structure that we raise,
Time is with materials filled;
Our to-days and yesterdays
Are the blocks with which we build.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
