Famous quotes containing the word family:

    Though a family be a thousand, there can be only one in charge.
    Chinese proverb.

    One theme links together these new proposals for family policy—the idea that the family is exceedingly durable. Changes in structure and function and individual roles are not to be confused with the collapse of the family. Families remain more important in the lives of children than other institutions.

    Joseph Featherstone (20th century)

    Classical and romantic: private language of a family quarrel, a dead dispute over the distribution of emphasis between man and nature.
    Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
