Famous quotes containing the word family:
“It is in the love of one’s family only that heartfelt happiness is known.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“My ambition for station was always easily controlled. If the place came to me it was welcome. But it never seemed to me worth seeking at the cost of self-respect, or independence. My family were not historic; they were well-to-do, did not hold or seek office. It was easy for me to be contented in private life. An honor was no honor to me, if obtained by my own seeking.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“All happy families resemble one another, but each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”
—Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910)
