Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “Public employment contributes neither to advantage nor happiness. It is but honorable exile from one’s family and affairs.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “I duly acknowledge that I have gone through a long life, with fewer circumstances of affliction than are the lot of most men. Uninterrupted health, a competence for every reasonable want, usefulness to my fellow-citizens, a good portion of their esteem, no complaint against the world which has sufficiently honored me, and above all, a family which has blessed me by their affections, and never by their conduct given me a moment’s pain.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “A family on the throne is an interesting idea.... It brings down the pride of sovereignty to the level of petty life.”
    —Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
