Famous quotes containing the word family:

    Every family has one passage of scripture they stumble over.
    Chinese proverb.

    Govern a small family as you would cook a small fish, very gently.
    —(20th century)

    English people apparently queue up as a sort of hobby. A family man might pass a mild autumn evening by taking the wife and kids to stand in the cinema queue for a while and then leading them over for a few minutes in the sweetshop queue and then, as a special treat for the kids, saying “Perhaps we’ve time to have a look at the Number Thirty-One bus queue before we turn in.”
    Calvin Trillin (b. 1940)
