Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “Wherever the citizen becomes indifferent to his fellows, so will the husband be to his wife, and the father of a family toward the members of his household.”
    —Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)

    “If a family lives in harmony, all its affairs will prosper.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “I acknowledge that the balance I have achieved between work and family roles comes at a cost, and every day I must weigh whether I live with that cost happily or guiltily, or whether some other lifestyle entails trade-offs I might accept more readily. It is always my choice: to change what I cannot tolerate, or tolerate what I cannot—or will not—change.”
    —Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
