Famous quotes containing the words family and/or tree:

    Of all the vices, lewdness is the worst; of all the virtues, family duty is the first.
    —Chinese proverb.

    Rhyme.

    Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
