Famous quotes containing the words death and/or family:
“‘Tis no great valor to perish sword in hand, and bravado on lip; cased all in panoply complete. For even the alligator dies in his mail, and the swordfish never surrenders. To expire, mild-eyed, in one’s bed, transcends the death of Epaminondas.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“The family that perseveres in good works will surely have an abundance of blessings.”
—Chinese proverb.
