Famous quotes containing the word family:

    As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.
    John Paul II [Karol Wojtyla] (b. 1920)

    If you understand why a monkey in a family is always mocked and harassed, you understand why monks are rejected by all—both old and young.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    No wealth can buy the requisite leisure, freedom, and independence which are the capital in this profession. It comes only by the grace of God. It requires a direct dispensation from Heaven to become a walker. You must be born into the family of the Walkers. Ambulator nascitur, non fit.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
