Famous quotes containing the word family:
“I am the family face;
Flesh perishes, I live on,
Projecting trait and trace
Through time to times anon,
And leaping from place to place
Over oblivion.”

“Public employment contributes neither to advantage nor happiness. It is but honorable exile from one’s family and affairs.”
