Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “The family is in flux, and signs of trouble are widespread. Expectations remain high. But realities are disturbing.”
    —Robert Neelly Bellah (20th century)

    “Every family should extend First Amendment rights to all its members, but this freedom is particularly essential for our kids. Children must be able to say what they think, openly express their feelings, and ask for what they want and need if they are ever able to develop an integrated sense of self. They must be able to think their own thoughts, even if they differ from ours. They need to have the opportunity to ask us questions when they don’t understand what we mean.”
    —Stephanie Martson (20th century)

    “Every family has one passage of scripture they stumble over.”
    —Chinese proverb.
