Famous quotes containing the word family:
“A family in harmony will prosper in everything.”
—Chinese proverb.

—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“I am the family face;
Flesh perishes, I live on,
Projecting trait and trace
Through time to times anon,
And leaping from place to place
Over oblivion.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
