Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “My family pride is something inconceivable. I can’t help it. I was born sneering.”
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    “The family circle has widened. The worldpool of information fathered by the electric media—movies, Telstar, flight—far surpasses any possible influence mom and dad can now bring to bear. Character no longer is shaped by only two earnest, fumbling experts. Now all the world’s a sage.”
    —Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

    “Do not let your bachelor ways crystallize so that you can’t soften them when you come to have a wife and a family of your own.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
