Famous quotes containing the word family:

—M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
“One banquet in a rich family could feed a poor man’s family for half a year.”
—Chinese proverb.
“The intent of matrimony, is not for man and wife to be always taken up with each other, but jointly to discharge the duties of civil society, to govern their family with prudence, and educate their children with discretion.”
